Robert F. Kennedy

Maxwell Taylor Kennedy read through his father Robert F. Kennedy's speeches, letters, personal journal or daybook, and books about RFK in which his father was quoted to assemble this collection of RFK's ideas. Throughout the 1960s, Robert F. Kennedy kept a daybook or journal in which he recorded ideas or quotations from his reading which appealed to him. Son Maxwell has made selections from this journal, and from his father's letters and speeches, and from books about RFK in which his father was quoted, to assemble this collection which presents the mind and vision of RFK and topics such as the act of living, the American spirit, seeking a better world, the future, being a citizen in a civil society, and more.

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.

Pentonville Prison. Wally Hubbard is serving a long sentence for arson. But after befriending and tricking one of the officers, Hubbard makes an audacious escape. Inspector Marmion, the detective who arrested Hubbard, is warned to watch his back, but it seems that Hubbard has another target in his murderous sights. However, the investigation is mired in confusion, the identities of killer and victim become increasingly ambiguous. An inmate at an internment camp who might be a spy sending intelligence to the Germans complicates matters further, and the multiplying manhunts, as well as Marmion's concern for his injured and withdrawn son Paul, leave the detective desperate and perhaps with too many threads to untangle.
