Synopsis
In this fresh and highly praising reassessment of the JFK years, journalist David Talbott 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, Talbott says there are many questions that justify reopening the inquiry once thought to have been concluded by the official Warren Commission report. According to Talbott, 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. Talbott exposes the dark and secret flow of power in '60s 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 he says the verdict is still out on the story of the century.

Industry Reviews
"BROTHERS is a fearless, passionate, often angry book that both summarizes much of the vast conspiracy literature and attempts to add new evidence that Talbot himself amassed through dogged interviews with many people connected--directly or indirectly--with the Kennedy years."
(05/20/2007)
"Talbot...has written a fast-paced narrative of Kennedy's search for his brother's killers. [He] is careful to sidestep the question of who was actually responsible for the assassination....Talbot's book is among the more engaging works in the JFK-conspiracy literature."
