RFK
Robert F. Kennedy's life and legacy are explored in best-selling author C. David Heymann's provocative new book. The first full-scale biography of this complex and controversial Kennedy, RFK illuminates the man, his family, and an unforgettable chapter in our national history. Based on five years of intensive research and never-before-released documents from the FBI, CIA, and Department of Justice, among other government agencies, RFK is both a probing political study and an in-depth inside profile of Robert Kennedy and America's most famous first family. Heymann examines Kennedy's relationships with J. Edgar Hoover, Roy Cohn, Martin Luther King, Jr., Lyndon Johnson, and Jimmy Hoffa, as well as the Mafia's key role in engineering John Kennedy's various political campaigns. He discusses how Bobby Kennedy, an ambitious politician in his own right, came to be appointed attorney general, and the degree of co-presidential responsibility he assumed during his brother's administration. And he reveals RFK's personal involvement in the destruction of state evidence relating to JFK's assassination. RFK also traces the difficulties and struggles of Bobby's children, and the devastating deaths of his sons David and Michael. In a book that is uncompromising in both its candor and its compassion, C. David Heymann has given us the definitive portrait of one of the most elusive, contradictory, and tragic figures of our time.

Based on extensive archival research and personal interviews with Monroe and DiMaggio's family and friends, Joe and Marilyn offers great insight into a famously tragic romance.
