First published 2004
Veteran investigative reporter Peter Evans presents one of the twentieth century's most explosive untold stories. Two titans wielded enormous wealth and influence but despised each other from their first encounter. Shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and Senator Bobby Kennedy nursed a bitter rivalry that intensified over decades. Both men pursued Jackie Kennedy, the widowed guardian of the Kennedy mystique. Evans methodically documents how their animosity reached a deadly conclusion. He traces Onassis's network of associates and financial backing that enabled Bobby Kennedy's assassination. The investigation includes a confession hidden for thirty years. Evans maps the connections that allowed Onassis to orchestrate the murder while remaining in the shadows. This shocking revelation reframes the Kennedy tragedy through the lens of personal vendetta and political calculation.
