About The Killing Of Robert F. Kennedy: An Investigation
Product Description THE UPDATED 50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION On June 5, 1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, a former U.S. Attorney General, was shot in a kitchen pantry at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles during an election night victory party. His death the following day stunned a nation still recovering from the murder of his brother, President John F. Kennedy, five years earlier in Dallas, which many believed was still an unsolved case. However, law-enforcement officials insisted that the murder of Senator Kennedy was not “another Dallas.” This was an open-and-shut case. Senator Kennedy’s assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, who was apprehended and arrested at the scene, had acted alone. Yet behind the official version of the RFK killing lies a story of shadows, controversies, conflicting testimonies, and missing evidence. Investigative journalist Dan E. Moldea set out to discover the truth. What he found suggested at the very least a botched investigation. In this compelling and exciting book, filled with plot twists and intrigue, Moldea turns the case inside out, tracking down witnesses and police officers (most of whom had never been interviewed), scrutinizing sworn statements and official files, polygraphing a security guard whom many suspected was the real gunman, and interviewing Sirhan three times in jail. From the welter of evidence and theories, Moldea reveals what he believes happened that fateful night. Exhaustively researched, brilliantly analyzed, and wonderfully written, The Killing of Robert F. Kennedy definitely closes the door on the mystery of the murder of Robert Kennedy. (W.W. Norton) Review "Carefully reasoned . . . ultimately persuasive . . . dramatic. . . . The author meticulously dissects how the various disputes arose and how critics were drawn into the orbit of the case. . . . The cleverness of [Moldea's] strategy in the book lies in his playing so effectively the part of devil's advocate. . . . His book should be read, not so much for the irrefutability of its conclusions as for the way the author has brought order out of a chaotic tale and turned an appalling tatter of history into an emblem of our misshapen times.-- Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times "Moldea's book is a must read for all those concerned about the troublesome questions raised about the official version of the assassination of RFK. His startling conclusions are all the more persuasive because of the tenacity and integrity he brought to his long quest for the truth." -- Professor G. Robert Blakey, former chief counsel, U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations "Beyond its boldness and intelligence, The Killing of Robert F. Kennedy, after all of its fascinating twists and turns, makes a very persuasive case for its ultimate conclusion. With its exclusive interviews and important new evidence, this book will be an unavoidable touchstone for all future works on the case." -- Vincent Bugliosi "Dan Moldea takes us on a brave and honest journey. . . . He doesn't fail to lead us on a number of fascinating detours, because he knows that only by taking these ambitious side trips can we plumb some of the case's deepest mysteries." -- Robert Blair Kaiser "This book will show up the naysayers in the press who value their prejudices more than Moldea's facts, and set armchair theorists on their ears. It is exciting, fun, and instructive to watch Moldea solve, finally, this important case--with a Perry Mason shocker to sweeten the ending." -- Jonathan Kwitny " The Killing of Robert F. Kennedy is a classic piece of investigative journalism and a signal contribution to contemporary American political history." -- Laurence Leamer "In a fascinating true-life adventure, Dan Moldea allows us to look over his shoulder as he dissects the investigation, searching for its flaws, weighing the sometimes conflicting evidence, and finally leading us to what appears to be his rock-solid verdict." -- David Burnham "In my view, the essential re
