5.0 out of 5 stars This book tells the truth about the killing of RFK., April 6, 1998

This review is from: The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy: The Conspiracy and Coverup (Paperback)

I, like many people who grew up as a child of the sixties, knew of the controversy of JFK's assasination. But I knew very little in regards to the assasination of RFK. All I knew was that Sirhan Sirhan was the person's name who killed him. At least that's what I thought before I read this excellant account of events by the authors. If you enjoy American history, the sixties or the Kennedy's, this is a must read. If you're like me, you won't believe what you read. A true patriot, RFK, was murdered and history continues to paint an incorrect picture of one assailant. Sound familiar? You won't be able to put the book down. Oliver Stone, you must make this you're next project, please!

This review is from: The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy: The Conspiracy and Coverup (Paperback)

Turner and Christian present a well documented, convincing story of why the RFK assassination needed independent review in 1970s or 80s. This book places a lot of questions at the feet of the LAPD, and perhaps also with the CIA. But the major question is why there was not more public outcry for a review of the investigation back in 1968 and the following ten years.

One wonders, now in 2003, what relevance is left to this book. After reading it, any reader should better understand how too blind a faith in our government and its agencies might lead to a loss of control over these agencies, with disasterous results. Will we allow history to repeat itself? At a time when significant diminishing of our individual freedoms is occurring, the histories of RFK and JFK might make us rethink how far we might want to go to battle terrorism. Even if you don't really buy-in to any of the conspiracy theories, the clumsiness of the investigations should provide plenty of reasons to want _more_ oversight of these agencies, not less.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very convincing page-turner...too bad it's non-fiction, December 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy: The Conspiracy and Coverup (Paperback)

With all the "JFK Killed by Elvis" books on the market, one might overlook this wonderful book by Christiann and Turner. Like "All The President's Men", the book tells the story of a politician and journalist who dared to search for the truth in a maze of cover-ups and bold-faced lies. The authors provide convincing, simple evidence that RFK could not have been shot by only one man, let alone the feeble Sirhan Sirhan. Anyone interested in the RFK assassination, or in the political turmoil of the late '60's, doesn't know the whole story until they've read this fine book.
