Synopsis
A biography of Robert F. Kennedy, based on many interviews conducted by the author, in which subjects have many stories to tell--some of them salacious. It is written for a popular audience, and, at times, calls into question Kennedy's character, ability, and ambition. Organized around people in his life both loved and hated, it focuses on personal enemies such as J. Edgar Hoover and Fidel Castro, and on Kennedy's use of the office of Attorney General for personal vendettas against Jimmy Hoffa and others. It alludes to many liaisons and escapades, tells of his friendship with Marilyn Monroe, and explores his position in the Kennedy clan and marriage to his wife, Ethel.

Publisher's Note
From the author of the bestselling "A Woman Named Jackie" comes the first tell-all, no-holds-barred biography of Robert F. Kennedy. In this definitive work, master researcher and bestselling author C. David Heymann exposes Kennedy's inner contradictions, the machinations of his political career, his private liaisons, his enemies, and his lovers. of photos.
With the assassination of his brother, Robert Kennedy inherited the hopes and aspirations of a bereft nation adopting his brother's political legacy in what became a personal quest for vindication and redemption. A highly successful and controversial political player in his own right, RFK was on the verge of gaining the Democratic Presidential nomination in the last year of his life. His assassination in 1968 at the age of 43 felled a man who had come to represent the impossible hopes and ideals of a just political system. But who was this complex man? In this definitive work, master researcher and bestselling author of celebrity biographies C. David Heymann has exposed Kennedy's inner contradictions, the machinations of his political career, his private liaisons, his enemies, and his lovers. The book is filled with major revelations, including new details about: RFK's relationship with Jackie Kennedy after JFK's death; his sexual involvement with various movie stars; what really happened with Marilyn Monroe; and his dealings with J. Edgar Hoover, Roy Cohn, Lyndon Johnson, Martin Luther King, Jr., Jimmy Hoffa, and various notorious Mafia figures. Heymann spent over five years researching this book, interviewing over a thousand friends, family members, foes, political aides, and former employees of RFK, and gathering never-before-released documents from the FBI, the CIA, and Scotland Yard, among others. The result is a fascinating portrait of an American icon whose life embraced triumph and tragedy, deception and intrigue, power and passion.

Industry reviews
Is there a TV miniseries in the offing? The author's best-selling biographies of Jackie, Liz, and Barbara Hutton all made it to the small screen.
