New Book: Robert F. Kennedy and the 1968 Nebraska Primary [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-08-01

Another person and I have written a book on Robert Kennedy’s campaign in Nebraska in 1968. We believe that this fills in a real void in the history of Robert Kennedy’s campaign for president. There are no books on the 1968 Nebraska primary and the Husker state is largely neglected in the histories of Kennedy’s campaign and the 1968 presidential campaign in general.

Now we need to find somebody to publish our book. Do I need an agent? Do you know of any publisher who would be interested in our book?

The scope of research conducted for this book is impressive: we conducted careful and extensive archival research, delving into newspapers from even the smallest Nebraskan hamlets to dredge up little known stories about RFK and his campaign. Insider interviews from people who were there reveal stories that would soon be lost to history.

We contend that Kennedy would have won the 1968 presidential campaign to become the 37th president of the United States. The last chapter is dedicated to imagining a world in which Bobby Kennedy survived and made our country — and the world — a better place.

This book will further burnish Robert F. Kennedy’s legacy and place in history. Nebraska brought out the best in Kennedy and he brought out the best in Nebraska. Nebraska voters became well acquainted with Kennedy’s charisma, warmth, charm, wit and sense of humor. He loved Nebraskans and they loved him back. It was an unlikely coupling.

We would be happy to provide excerpts or even the full manuscript to any potential publisher who is interested.

Thank you very much for your kind and serious consideration of this matter.
