Best Kennedy book ever written

Revisado: 05-04-25

This book was completely outstanding. The storytelling, details, insider knowledge, and friendship with the key players is par excellence. The author was an employee of JFK Jr. and a close friend and his chief of staff. Her access was unparalleled. John was an amazing man - more so for his humility, kindness and heart of gold, than his pedigree and movie-star looks. This book looked into the soul of this young man. What a loss for America.

A woman of substance

Revisado: 07-29-24

This was a surprisingly interesting book that was hard to put down. Caroline was a unique and complex woman of supreme confidence despite her middle class origins. Her depth, kindness, charm, intellect and empathy was not apparent in Her media portrayal as an icy beauty known for minimalist fashion and stone cold expressions. I don't think their marriage would have survived had they had lived, but theirs was truly a great and passionate love story. Caroline was a private woman like her mother-in-law Jacqueline Kennedy. But Jackie learned how to navigate life in the eye of a media storm. And Caroline never did. It probably would have eventually unraveled their union, but I'm sure they would have been obsessed with each other to the end. Caroline wasn't intimidated by John's fame and fortune - and he loved that. To her he was just a regular guy and he loved that.

The way it really was

Revisado: 05-22-24

John Kennedy and his friend and lover Mary Pinchot Meyer were shot execution style within 10 months of each other. Both cases are essentially unsolved 60 years later. The conspiracy that killed Kennedy was behind Meyers death too; she was collateral damage. Mary. knew too much as a former CIA wife and former journalist. She was piecing together John's murder. This novel humanizes the secret, complex relationship between john and Mary. And it offers a glimpse into the glamorous world of Camelot that Mary experienced as the ultimate "insider". Their mutual vision of world peace angered the military industrial complex and it was a factor in their mutual demise. This novel is very true to life and is fact based.

To brief

It was too short. And he only hit on the stories we already knew. It could have been much longer. He knew everyone who was anyone for five decades.

The incredibly detailed research and forensic science of these historical crimes.

Revisado: 03-21-24

This was outstanding. It should be a guidepost to re-open both cases and finally solve these crimes and absolve the two innocent men accused of these heinous crimes.

Meticulous research. Outstanding book

Revisado: 02-09-24

This is one of the best books I have ever read. This story should be a bigger part of history. It untangles the labyrinth of the conspiracy to assassinate JFK. ITS a MIND-blowing tale and sadly - true. More than 100 people were murdered over 20 years who had knowledge of the JFK assassination and coverup. Mary Myers was only one of them.

Diana would have encouraged H&M to leave too.

Revisado: 12-15-23

I read his other Book Endgame and it was better. This was uncomfortably solicitous and gushy to M&H. However - I believe most of the content was accurate. And that M&H got a raw deal and had every reason to leave. A lot of the problems were caused by power hungry, self-important Palace staff and some jealousy of family members.

The family should have done much more to defend them from press attacks. M&H made some minor tactical errors that blew up. But they are good people and didn't deserve the vicious press attacks. American royal Wallis Simpson wasn't treated any better. Nor Princess Diana, Fergie,etc. Royal women are expected to keep theirs mouth shut, don't have opinions, and look gorgeous. Meghan was American, whip-smart, and an actress. They didn't defend her or help her out enough. American women are different. She needed more time to adjust. I don't think the Family was racist because they treated the white females that way too. But the British tabloid media - VERY racist.

Williams poor behavior was pretty consistent. Very uneven treatment of the two brothers by the family. Formula for disaster.

Revisado: 11-29-23

Excellent book. Very authentic and truthful. Harry was self deprecating and honest throughout the book. I think he held back more than he shared. Charles loved his darling boy but the whole Windsor family (particularly William) and the courtiers were responsible for losing this asset. They will have a much better life in California.
