"R.F.K. Must Die!": Chasing the Mystery of the Robert Kennedy Assassination

The definitive text on the mystery of R.F.K.'s assassination by a reporter who "got inside this story... with his impressive grasp of all the loose ends" ( Kirkus Reviews ). On the night of June 4, 1968, Sirhan Sirhan shot and killed Sen. Robert F.Kennedy in a steamy pantry of the Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel. Kennedy and his entourage had been celebrating his victory in the California primary for the Democratic nomination for president. Everybody knew that Sirhan was the assassin. But was there a wider conspiracy? Did the FBI truly solve the crime? After working his way deep inside the investigation—and spending more than two hundred hours in direct conversation with Sirhan—Robert Blair Kaiser wrote the quintessential book on Robert Kennedy's murder. Then, forty years later, Kaiser returned to the evidence, revising his original text as he probed even further into this mystifying tragedy. Widely recognized as an important contribution to the literature of political assassinations and as a primary document on the tragedy of Kennedy's death, "R.F.K. Must Die!" is more than ever a stunning look into the mind of a killer and the substance of an assassination.
