🕊The Death of the New America - Part One “THE RISE OF ROBERT F. KENNEDY” In the first installment of this two-part series, The Ides of April traces the origins of the Kennedy dynasty—its ruthless ambition, its early tragedies, and the extraordinary forces that shaped Robert F. Kennedy into the most unlikely moral voice of the 1960s. We begin with the unvarnished story of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. and the empire he built through Hollywood maneuvering, shrewd investments, insider access, and political calculation. From there, we follow the family’s early ascent into American power—and their first devastating fall with the death of Joseph Kennedy Jr. in WWII. We then explore the partnership between Jack and Bobby, forged in crisis and defined by the Cuban Missile standoff, internal political strife, and the enormous emotional cost of holding up a crumbling world order. RFK’s transformation—from loyal strategist to grieving brother to emerging moral leader—sets the stage for his unprecedented rise in 1968. 📚 CHAPTERS 1.
