Download The Poison Patriarch: How the Betrayals of Joseph P. Kennedy Caused the Assassination of JFK AudioBook Free
Focusing for the very first time on why lawyer standard Robert F. Kennedy wasn't killed in 1963 instead of on why Leader John F. Kennedy was, Symbol Shaw offers a stunning and provocative assassination theory that leads right to the family patriarch, Joseph P. Kennedy. Mining fresh information and even more than 40 new interviews, Shaw weaves a spellbinding narrative relating Mafia don Carlos Marcello; Jack port Ruby (Lee Harvey Oswald's killer); Ruby's attorney, Melvin Belli; and, in the end, the Kennedy brothers and their dad. Shaw addresses these tantalizing questions: Why, shortly after his brother's fatality, do a grief-stricken RFK notify a colleague, "I thought they would get one of us...I thought it would be me"? Why was Belli, an lawyer with minimal protection experience (but proven ties to the Mafia), chosen as Jack port Ruby's attorney? How can Belli's Mafia connection call into question his legal strategy, which in the end resulted in the Ruby's first-degree murder conviction and fatality sentence? That which was Joseph Kennedy's relationship to organized criminal offenses? And exactly how was his insistence that JFK appoint RFK as lawyer standard tantamount to signing the president's fatality warrant? For 50 years, Shaw preserves, researchers investigating the president's murder in Dallas have been looking at the wrong motives and celebrities. The Poison Patriarch offers a surprising reassessment - the one that is sure to alter the span of future assassination debates.
