Publisher's Note
On June 5, 1968, Robert Kennedy was shot and killed, stunning a nation still recovering from John F. Kennedy's death 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. Did Sirhan really act alone? Dan Moldea embarked upon a crusade to discover the truth, and what he found suggested strongly that there were two guns fired in the hotel pantry that night, leading to another question: Who shot RFK?
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 have never been interviewed), scrutinizing testimony and official files, questioning Sirhan in jail, and polygraphing security guard 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.
Industry Reviews
"This book presents a remarkable turnaround for a writer who had partly staked his reputation on the existence of a second shooter. But because of the honesty and logic with which he approaches his study, Mr. Moldea's journalistic instincts have never looked sharper....this is the best written of his books, finished in a clear and easy style."
New York Times Book Review (06/18/1995)
"Moldea's book can be described as a fine example of the nonfiction equivalent of the 'police procedural' mystery novel. It abounds in interviews with cops, circles being drawn, bullet holes, evidence bags, 'land and cannelure' marks on bullets, and much more."
Washington Post Book World - Godfrey Hodgson (06/25/1994)
