About the Book

Robert F. Kennedy was the first conspiracy theorist about his brother's murder. In this astonishingly compelling and convincing new account of the Kennedy years, acclaimed journalist David Talbot tells in a riveting, superbly researched narrative why, even on 22 November 1963, RFK had reason to believe that dark forces were at work in Dallas and reveals, for the first time, that he planned to open an investigation into the assassination had he become president in 1968. BROTHERS also portrays a JFK administration more besieged by internal enemies than has previously been realised, from within the Pentagon, the CIA, the FBI and the mafia. This frightening portrait of sinister elements within and without the government serves as the background for the emotionally charged journey of Robert Kennedy. Reading it, you can absolutely believe any number of people would have been happy for both brothers to meet a sticky end. The tragedy, not just for America but for the world, is that since their murders no one has had the nerve to stand against the dark forces they challenged in quite the same way.

Review :
'To anyone brought up on the sickly tale of the Camelot court of the Kennedys, it's easy to forget quite how many Americans hated and still hate the family... So, if you're looking for people who might have helped Lee Harvey Oswald kill JFK in 1963, or Sirhan Sirhan kill RFK in 1968, there is no shortage of suspects' Sunday Telegraph 10/6 'The lives of John and Bobby Kennedy have been raked over many times in the past, but Talbot's new account shades in details that other biographers have missed thanks to declassified documents and his choice of interviewees. His revelations show the extent to which the Kennedy administration was plotted against by its own national security apparatus, and the clandestine motives behind the Bay of Pigs' The Herald (Glasgow) 16/6 'Talbot's interviews with the swindling band of courtiers from the Kennedy Camelot provide some new insights into the hopes so brutally destroyed by the assassinations of Jack and Bobby Kennedy and [Talbot] does find a new perspective from which to tell the all-too familiar story' Sunday Times 24/6 'An ideal read for anyone interested in the 1960s and its parallels with today' Sunday Business Post (Ireland) 17/6 'The book's great strength lies in its ability to instil the same awe of the brothers in the reader. On reaching the tragic conclusion, one experiences and understands the trauma of their deaths, 40 years on' Waterstone's Books Quarterly, August 'Brothers brilliantly evokes the Kennedys and their court -- a brash yet idealistic fraternity reminiscent of Mad Men and The West Wing- expertly researched through inner-circle interviews, the book suggests a conspiracy was also behind Bobby's murder in 1968, and names two spooks who Talbot believes were part of the JFK Dallas plot' Guardian 14/6 'Riveting, disturbing and sometimes unbearably sad' Irish Times 20/9
