On June 5th, 1968, at L.A.'s Ambassador Hotel, Robert F. Kennedy celebrated his victory in the California Democratic primary with a rousing victory speech anticipating a successful run for the presidency. Moments later, gunshots shattered that dream: like his brother before him, Bobby Kennedy lay mortally wounded at the hand of an assassin. The police quickly apprehended Sirhan Sirhan, who the world believed had single-handedly masterminded the shooting. Shockingly, that may not be so, as documentary filmmaker Shane O'Sullivan presents powerful new evidence to the contrary...

Cleans the CIA-LAPD Stables; No Small Task!

I strongly recommend that readers read O'Sullivans new book, Who Killed Bobby. There is a lot of new information, not only on the new Times/ Discovery channel balistics test that argues 13 shots--Sirhan's gun had eight-- but also invaluable updated interviews with nearly all of the key witnesses to the shooting.

Also included are much greater detail, including extensive direct quotations from LAPD interviews with key witnesses. Reading these interviews gives new meaning to the phrase "leading the witness".... even while she is still plugged into the polygraph!

Also there is perhaps the best concise and pertinant overview of the CIA's Artichoke and MK-ULTRA research. This research is summarized deftly and always remains the very live third rail, running parallel to the assassination and investigation narrative. Even those wary of being labeled "conspiracists' by those employable "'leftists"" at The Nation, will be impressed by the lineup of heavily-credentialed hitters that O'Sullivan lines up to argue that Sirhan was a manipulated patsy.

This book is an invaluable service for a new generation. One cannot help wondering why this Assassination is so unfashionable, compared to others. Leads one to question the Taste Makers-- even more!

Sullivan Accounts for RFK Evidence

As an avid researcher of the Robert F. Kennedy assassination, I enjoyed Sullivan's chronology of this event and what official investigators and researchers have determined. He covers possible answers thoroughly, but I wish he would consider the idea that Sirhan fired blanks more as Sullivan acknowledges no bullet has been tied to Sirhan's gun.

Reality Check

For those interested in the RFK assassination, the book and its companion video ("RFK Must Die") are probably worth buying. Unfortunately, there is nothing presented here that would persuade an objective observer of the case made by the author. Despite the obvious holes in the LAPD case, one is continually drawn back to Sirhan's simple answer to the question posed to him by Jess Unruh as he was being taken away from the Ambassador Hotel. When Unruh asked "Why did you do it?," Sirhan responded calmly "What, so you can use it against me in court?" This answer is important for the simple reason that it shows that Sirhan was aware of what had taken place. After all, if he had been hypnotized and unaware of his surroudings at the time of the shooting, the logical response to Unruh's question would be "Did what?"

Thin. Very thin.

I'm a huge fan of RFK and I am ready to be convinced that there was more to his murder than one crazed lonely man. I expected this book to provide facts to support a conspiracy theory, but with it's weak reasoning, logical flaws, repetition, poor writing, and laughable straw-grabbing, I am now convinced that Sirhan acted alone for his own demented reasons. A girl in a polka dot dress runs out yelling "We did it!"?? Yeah, all great conspiracies end with a public announcement to strangers, by the conspirators. You have Sirhan writing "It is my obsession" to kill RFK, days prior to the assassination. Sure he claims not to remember the killing - and his claim of no memory is accepted wholesale by the author here. It is a premise the author relies upon and focuses on toward the end (paying lip service to, but quickly dismissing, the thought that Sirhan is faking.) Despite his efforts to raise doubts in favor of a conspiracy, or at least a "second gun," this author has shown that such concepts are unsupported in this instance. Sirhan was a lone gunman.
