| Zusammenfassung: | On June 5, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was fatally shot in the pantry of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles; his death the following day stunned a nation still recovering from John F. Kennedy's assassination five years earlier. Officials insisted, however, that this was not "another Dallas" - this was an open-and-shut case; Sirhan Sirhan acted alone. Yet behind the official version of the Robert Kennedy assassination lies a story full of shadows, controversies, conflicting testimony, and missing evidence. Investigative journalist Dan Moldea embarked upon a crusade to discover the truth, and what he found suggested a botched investigation, and perhaps something worse. Was there strong evidence, as certain police officers and the FBI alleged, that too many bullets were fired to have come from Sirhan's gun? Could the L.A.P.D. have suppressed vital evidence in their rush to judgment? Could Sirhan have had an accomplice? In a fascinating book with enough plot twists for any mystery novel, Moldea turns the supposedly closed case inside out, tracking down scores of witnesses and police officers (many of whom had never before been interviewed), scrutinizing testimony and official files, questioning Sirhan in jail, and polygraphing security guard Thane Eugene Cesar, accused by many of being the real gunman. Startling new evidence mounts and theories fly until Moldea finally reveals what he believes happened that night. Exhaustively researched, brilliantly analyzed, this is the definitive book on the RFK assassination. |
