Focusing for the first time on why attorney general Robert F.
Kennedy wasn't killed in 1963 instead of on why President John F.
Kennedy was, Mark Shaw offers a stunning and provocative
assassination theory that leads directly to the family patriarch,
Joseph P. Kennedy. Mining fresh information and more than forty new
interviews, Shaw weaves a spellbinding narrative involving Mafia
don Carlos Marcello; Jack Ruby (Lee Harvey Oswald's killer); Ruby's
attorney, Melvin Belli; and, ultimately, the Kennedy brothers and
their father.
Shaw addresses these tantalizing questions: Why, shortly after his
brother's death, did a grief-stricken RFK tell a colleague, "I
thought they would get one of us . . . I thought it would be me"?
Why was Belli, an attorney with almost no defense experience (but
proven ties to the Mafia), chosen as Jack Ruby's attorney? How does
Belli's Mafia connection call into question his legal strategy,
which ultimately led to the Ruby's first-degree murder conviction
and death sentence? What was Joseph Kennedy's relationship to
organized crime? And how was his insistence that JFK appoint RFK as
attorney general tantamount to signing the president's death
warrant?
For fifty years, Shaw maintains, researchers investigating the
president's murder in Dallas have been looking at the wrong motives
and actors. "The Poison Patriarch "offers a shocking
reassessment--one that is sure to alter the course of future
assassination debates.
