- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2010This is the best book out there on the RFK assasination. The authors leave no stone unturned, and lay out all the evidence meticulously for the reader. It was a hard book to put down because the authors would continually build momentum to the climax of a situation or an event. I couldn't wait to see what was coming next. I love books like these; ones that lay out the facts, but also make it a compelling story for the reader. (Just as a note for potential readers), the authors don't speculate who killed RFK, but they lay out all the facts and all the coincidences. Bottom line: All of Robert Kennedy's wounds came from the rear, while Sirhan was shooting(blanks,I believe) from the front. As you read you will find there were a few people involved, thus making this a conspiracy. But as we know a lone nut assassin makes the investigation so much easier. I mean God forbid, we wouldn't want the American people to think there is a sinister force in this country controlling this nation!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2016I've read every book written on the RFK assassination and this is still one of the very best. It really should have been a movie, and is written that way. Enjoyable read but chock full of important history.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2008This is a history of the strangest assassination that you could imagine. It looked like an open and shut case. The LAPD made darn sure that those looks stayed that way. In spite of the objectivity, it becomes clear that there is more to this assassination, and cover up, than meets the eye.
The case seems quite strong that there were more bullets fired than Sirhans gun could hold. All of the shots into Kennedy were identified as entering from the rear. Sirhan was in front of Kennedy. The fatal shot was placed within inches of Kennedy's head. The LAPD ripped the pantry apart and destroyed the evidence while doing so. A photographers camera was seized at gun point, actually six LAPD cops at gun point. All of the photos from inside the pantry were not returned.
There is a shady hypnotist with a proclaimed CIA past and an even shadier preacher man who went to the LAPD on the following day and claimed to have met Sirhan strictly via picking him up as a hitch hiker on the day of the assassination. The preacher has a law record as long as your forearm and it is proved that he had known Sirhan for a considerable amount of time. The allegation that he had previously bought clothes for Sirhan will make you rub your eyes. The biggest story is that he suddenly had a nice Lincoln and was flashing up to thirty $1000 bills about the time of the assassination. This in spite of constantly being broke before the event.
There are LAPD members with CIA connections who squeezed in some side work in Latin America. One may wonder if their "other" employment was that of "jackals" (hitmen).
Then you have the well built lady with the funny nose and the polka dot dress, and her partner, that is reputed to have ran from the scene yelling that they had just shot Kennnedy. They had recently entered the building via the fire escape stair case that is attached to the rear of multi-level buildings.
Sirhan had also been warned by a friend to quit placing himself under hypnosis so much.
If you think this all seems pretty strange, get ready for more. Then consider that the books were ordered destroyed by fire shortly after publication.
This assassination deserved a lot more investigation. At least we got a serious effort from the authors.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2017For what it was, the book was well written and researched very well. My only beef with it was the preoccupation with this "Walking Bible" dude and his ties to the case. I wanted to hear more of other witnesses and what they saw. There were a lot of people in that room and they all had a pair of eyes. There is little doubt in my mind that the murder was committed by Eugene Cesar, the armed security guard that was at Kennedy's right shoulder which was exactly where the wounds in Kennedy came from. Their time would have been better spent going after him.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2011This should be standard reading for high school students. Americans need to have a healthy suspicion of all government officials. The LAPD was a government sponsored armed force that operated outside the law for decades. You want to know why O.J. Simpson was acquitted in the face of powerful evidence of his guilt - read this book. When people in a position of power abuse those over whom they wield power, there are repercussions. When the Simpson jury had a chance to get revenge on the LAPD, they took advantage of it. Keep in mind though, none of this could have happened without the blessing and/or participation of J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI. Anyway, I highly recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2017Excellent investigative reporting penetrating the ill-conceived effort to cover up the Assassination of Robert Kennedy -- proving beyond doubt that Surham was a patsy similar to Oswald in the domestic assassination of President Jack Kennedy. All need to read this book if we are to honestly come to grips with our nation's political system and our government.

Very informative

This book is quite fascinating at times. A lot has been written about the JFK assassination but much less has been written on his brother's assassination. It's actually kind of odd as, it could convincingly be argued, the latter case has more evidence suggesting a genuine conspiracy than the former and the events surrounding RFK's murder may even be odder than those surrounding JFK's. This book is well writtena and will definitely make you think about the assassionation in ways the mainstream press has never had the courage to do.
