The Kennedys - Hardcover

The Kennedys uncovers the truth behind the greatest conspiracy story of the twentieth century: the devastating plot against America's first family. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the murder of Senator Robert Kennedy and the disgrace that prevented Edward Kennedy from reaching the White House: never before has a conspiracy on this scale been known. Mind boggling in its implications, it aimed at changing the direction of American politics and succeeded, not only in achieving that but also in changing the political direction of the whole world. To the conspirators, John F. Kennedy should not have become President in the first place; to them it was a tragic mistake. Having being elected, Kennedy was certainly not a man to be pandered to, not even a man to be tolerated. His fresh approach to government brought with it important changes, such as revising the role played by the government in its support of the Establishment. The need of big business was to take second place to the need of the people. This was intolerable. His intention to take away from the oil industry the depletion allowances that had made them excessively rich was another big cause for concern. His plans to introduce health benefits for the sick, support for the elderly and the unemployed gave rise to great fears that he had a socialist streak in him which might well be identifiable as communist. From the moment he took office, he was on his way out. It was only a question of time. This is a story of hatred, revenge and murder that created a pattern which was covered up by stark fear for many years. It is a tale of intrigue, unholy alliances and unimaginable callousness. Revealing and tracing the development of the amalgamation of two potent forces dedicated to ridding the White House of the Kennedys, the question demanding to be asked is: who really ruled the United States? To many across the world, the answer may be frightening. The Kennedys is an unbelievably dramatic, dynamic and awesomely gripping work that will shock and enlighten many. Would you know the truth if you heard it?
