Using breakthrough reporting and interviews with long-silent sources, Gus Russo and Stephen Molton have crafted a dramatic retelling of the time before, during, and after the killing of John F. Kennedy. The book centers on the two opposed sets of brothers—the Kennedys and the Castros—who collectively authored one of modern history's most dangerous, and tragically ironic, chapters. Bobby Kennedy pushed for the murder of Fidel Castro and instead got the death of his beloved brother, a psychic blow from which he himself never recovered. Lee Harvey Oswald killed an admired president and traumatized a nation, but in so doing may have prevented a third world war.


Built on thirty years of intense research—including discoveries so significant that they have rekindled CIA and State Department interest in the Kennedy assassination—Brothers in Arms is a vivid, character-driven, almost cinematic narration of a singularly fascinating time. For neophytes, it is the most accessible and informed single volume on the assassination. For the many people who are fascinated by this story, this book provides extraordinary new facts that will force a reconsideration of how and why the Kennedy murder came to pass.

      This well-written investigative discourse promises the final answers to the controversy of the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The biographical format jumps among three parties--the Kennedys, the Castros, and Lee Harvey Oswald--all alleged by the authors to be connected to the murder plot. Weaving such a Cold War web of intrigue amid so many cultures poses a supreme challenge for narrator Paul Boehmer. Without effort or error, he slips through Russian, German, and the Boston accent of John Kennedy himself. However, Boehmer's Spanish sometimes has weaknesses, and he never attempts the English of a Spanish speaker. Boehmer's soft voice, impeccable diction, and easy pace allow him to slip into the background, letting the strength of the prose and the complexity of the relationships described be the focus for listeners.
