First edition of Robert Kennedy's compelling account of one of the most famous, consummate, and effective Senate investigations in modern Congressional history. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated with photographs. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "For Ann King With appreciation and best wishes Robert Kennedy." The recipient Anne King was the governess at the Kennedy's estate, Hickory Hill. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Foreword by Arthur Krock. An exceptional association.
In 1957, Kennedy "was named chief counsel of what became known as the Rackets Committee and made a name for himself by uncovering corrupt practices in the Teamsters' Union. In 1959 Kennedy left the committee to write The Enemy Within on his investigation" (ANB). "The point I want to make is this," Kennedy declares: "If we do not on a national scale attack organized criminals with weapons and techniques as effective as their own, they will destroy us" (page 265).
