Synopsis
In this fresh and highly laudatory reassessment of the JFK years, journalist David Talbot presents a double portrait of John and Bobby Kennedy as bold visionaries who ran up against the Washington establishment and others, and who may have paid the ultimate price because of it. Drawing on interviews with those who were there, and with access to documents hitherto unavailable, Talbot claims that there are many questions that justify reopening the inquiry once thought to have been concluded by the official Warren Commission report. According to Talbot, the Kennedys made enemies of Cold War hardliners in the military and in the intelligence community, and they also offended organized crime, organized labor, and the well-organized anti-Castro community in Florida. Talbot exposes the dark and secret flow of power in 1960s Washington, showing how it even frustrated Bobby Kennedy’s years-long efforts to find answers to his brother’s assassination. He reviews the many theories about the killings of JFK and Bobby that were put forth over the years, without wholly endorsing any of them, and concludes that the verdict is still out on the story of the century.
