(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 385-386) and index.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. inherited his assassinated father's piercing blue eyes and Brahmin style, earning a reputation as the nation's foremost environmental activist and lawyer -- the "toxic avenger"--Battling corporate polluters. But in this portrait, Jerry Oppenheimer places Bobby Jr., leader of the third generation of America's royal family, under a journalistic microscope, exploring his compulsions and addictions -- from his use of drugs to his philandering, which he himself blamed on what he termed his "lust demons"--and tells the story of the events leading up to the tragic May 2012 suicide of the second of his three wives, mother of four of his six children. Based on scores of exclusive, candid, on-the-record interviews, public and private records, and correspondence, Oppenheimer paints a portrait of this virtually unaccounted-for scion of the Kennedy dynasty.
