Goodreads asked John R. Bohrer:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

John R. Bohrer I wrote about Robert Kennedy as a college student, and then I discovered that he had hired these two twenty-something lawyers to develop his legislative agenda in the Senate, after he had come from being the second-most powerful man in Washington. I set out to write about them, but gradually, the story that revealed itself was one about Robert Kennedy and change, and it helped me understand why he still matters to people: because he helped free them from fear of change -- to be brave and to try.
