Though countless books have been written about the Kennedy men and their
brief, tumultuous time in the White House, few have offered as many
explosive revelations as this one. David Talbot describes a JFK
administration more besieged by domestic enemies than has been
previously realized, from within the Pentagon, the CIA, the FBI, and the
mob. It is against this dark backdrop that he charts the emotionally
charged journey of Robert Kennedy, whose soul-scouring quest to find the
origins of his brother's murder led him, to his horror, back to the dark
corners of American power that had been part of his portfolio: U.S.
intelligence, Cuba, and organized crime. From the Kennedy "band of
brothers" to RFK's hope of using executive power to solve Jack's death
once and for all, this probing work of history draws on more than 150
exclusive interviews to produce a bold look at power and vengeance. A
topic of perennial interest, Brothers is a multilayered, complex tale of
gut-wrenching history.
