Robert F. Kennedy Book Award

The annually awarded Robert F. Kennedy Book Award is given to the book that best represents the values RFK stood for: "concern for the poor and the powerless, his struggle for honest and even-handed justice, his conviction that a decent society must assure all young people a fair chance, and his faith that a free democracy can act to remedy disparities of power and opportunity."

Scroll down for a list of winners since 1980. Past winners include "The Children" by David Halberstam and "Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit " by Al Gore. The award was created with the proceeds from Arthur Schlesinger's best-selling biography "Robert Kennedy and His Times."
