-Caveat Lector-
This book was published in the UK on 5/30/2005 by Mainstream Publishing under the title The Kennedys: The Conspiracy to Destroy a Dynasty.
 
I bought the book on 7/9/2005 and it is outstanding due to the fact Smith worked with previously unknown witnesses still alive (I guess they couldn't kill EVERYONE on the inside) who had a conscience and were willing to talk.
 
The last significant JFK book was Blood, Money and Power (2003) by Barr McClellan, whose son Scott is press secretary for the Bush administration and who refused to comment on his father's book. It's easy to guess why: the book wove an interesting tale in which ALL THE PRINCIPALS WERE LONG DEAD save for the author. One can surmise he was coerced into writing the book in exchange for certain information on his personal and/or professional life remaining unpublicized. He could have titled the book DON'T BLAME ME, I'VE BEEN COMPROMISED AND HAD TO DO IT.
 
Nearly every JFK assassination book in the past 40 years has been calculated misdirection, diversion, and distraction. Look over here! Don't look over there! Sam Giancana's daughter told Smith to disregard her father's book completely.
 
The lone exception might be Farewell America written by French intelligence under the pseudonym James Hepburn.
 
There seems to be a media blackout concerning this new book, which is no surprise considering its implications.

JFK, RFK, And Teddy: Curse Or Conspiracy?

From renowned investigative author Matthew Smith comes the first exposé to offer a plausible theory based on direct witness testimony. Here, at long last, the truth is revealed about what—and who—was really behind the assassinations that felled first a president, then a senator, and the tragedy that demolished the aspirations of the last Kennedy to try for the White House. Packed with startling disclosures, this riveting book:

  • Traces a far-reaching plot to prevent the Kennedys from attaining future presidential power

  • Sheds new light on whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone—and whether Sirhan Sirhan did the same when he killed Robert Kennedy

  • Links the JFK/RFK assassinations with Mary Jo Kopechne’s drowning—the tragedy that destroyed Teddy Kennedy’s presidential aspirations

  • Offers first-time evidence that Kopechne’s death was a deliberate ploy to keep Edward Kennedy out of the White House

The assassination of John F. Kennedy remains one of the most profound historical mysteries of our time. Was Lee Harvey Oswald the sole gunman? Or was he, as many believe, part of a complex conspiracy that also orchestrated the tragedies that struck down Kennedy friends and family: Teddy Kennedy, whose presidential ambitions would be forever ruined by scandal; Bobby Kennedy, whose political promise would end with an assassin's bullet; and Marilyn Monroe, whose death in the wake of romantic affairs with JFK and RFK raised harrowing concerns—was Monroe’s demise suicide, as officials claimed, or was it homicide, meant to silence her or to destroy the two elder Kennedy brothers by involving them in murder?

This exhaustively researched exposé by Kennedy expert Matthew Smith casts blistering light upon the theory that something greater than chance or dark destiny informed the Kennedy tragedies. It reveals a vast plot to stop the Kennedys from establishing a presidential dynasty. It spares no one and no agency, not the FBI, not the Mafia, not the Teamsters. And it offers stunning answers to questions that have stirred dispute, ignited controversy, and haunted the national conscience for nearly half a century.

Matthew Smith is one of the world’s leading experts on JFK and RFK assassinations. He is the author of JFK: The Second Plot and JFK: Say Goodbye to America (both published in the United Kingdom by Mainstream Publishing), Victim: The Secret Tapes of Marilyn Monroe, and The Men Who Murdered Marilyn. He lives in Sheffield, England.

The Kennedys: The Conspiracy to Destroy a Dynasty
The Kennedys uncovers the truth behind the greatest conspiracy story of the twentieth century: the devastating plot against America's first family. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the murder of Senator Robert Kennedy and the disgrace that prevented Edward Kennedy from reaching the White House: never before has a conspiracy on this scale been known. Mind boggling in its implications, it aimed at changing the direction of American politics and succeeded, not only in achieving that but also in changing the political direction of the whole world. To the conspirators, John F. Kennedy should not have become President in the first place; to them it was a tragic mistake. Having being elected, Kennedy was certainly not a man to be pandered to, not even a man to be tolerated. His fresh approach to government brought with it important changes, such as revising the role played by the government in its support of the Establishment. The need of big business was to take second place to the need of the people. This was intolerable. His intention to take away from the oil industry the depletion allowances that had made them excessively rich was another big cause for concern. His plans to introduce health benefits for the sick, support for the elderly and the unemployed gave rise to great fears that he had a socialist streak in him which might well be identifiable as communist. From the moment he took office, he was on his way out. It was only a question of time. This is a story of hatred, revenge and murder that created a pattern which was covered up by stark fear for many years. It is a tale of intrigue, unholy alliances and unimaginable callousness. Revealing and tracing the development of the amalgamation of two potent forces dedicated to ridding the White House of the Kennedys, the question demanding to be asked is: who really ruled the United States? To many across the world, the answer may be frightening. The Kennedys is an unbelievably dramatic, dynamic and awesomely gripping work that will shock and enlighten many. Would you know the truth if you heard it?
