The Kennedy Years: Talbot’s BROTHERS

Comments Off on The Kennedy Years: Talbot’s BROTHERS

Brothers I went to one of David Talbot’s book readings recently. For those unfamiliar with him and his work, David is the founder of Salon.com and recently completed a book on the hidden history of the Kennedy Years entitled Brothers.

It largely focuses on John and Robert. The drama of the book is largely associated with what and who was really behind both John and Bobby’s deaths. What did Bobby and the family know? Others? What was interesting to learn from Talbot in-person and through his book, was how little power John Kennedy had over national security at the time.

From one book excerpt: "The Kennedy brothers and a small circle of their most trusted advisors, repeatedly thwarted Washington’s warrior caste. These hard-line generals and spymasters were hell-bent on a show-down with the Communist foe."

What I love about Talbot and in particular, his commitment not only to the subject matter but to revealing the truth, is his sincerity, and his ability to weave in and out of journalist style, story-telling dialogue and historical facts. Finally, its his belief that this is a story that must be told since so many of the dynamics are still a mystery thirty years later.
