Robert F. Kennedy's assassination in 1968 seemed like it should be
an open-and-shut case. Many people crowded in the small room at Los
Angeles's famed Ambassador Hotel that fateful night and saw Sirhan
Sirhan pull the trigger. Sirhan was also convicted of the crime and
still languishes in jail with a life sentence. However, conspiracy
theorists have jumped on inconsistencies in the eyewitness
testimony and alleged anomalies in the forensic evidence to suggest
that Sirhan was only one shooter in a larger conspiracy, a patsy
for the real killers, or even a hypnotized assassin who did not
know what he was doing (a popular plot in Cold War-era fiction,
such as "The Manchurian Candidate"). Mel Ayton profiles Sirhan and
presents a wealth of evidence about his fanatical Palestinian
nationalism and his hatred for RFK that motivated the killing.
Ayton unearths neglected eyewitness accounts and overlooked
forensic evidence and examines Sirhan's extensive personal
notebooks. He revisits the trial proceedings and convincingly shows
Sirhan was in fact the lone assassin whose politically motivated
act was a forerunner of present-day terrorism. "The Forgotten
Terrorist" is the definitive book on the assassination that rocked
the nation during the turbulent summer of 1968.
