      "The Kennedys" uncovers the truth behind the greatest conspiracy story of the twentieth century: the devastating plot against America's first family. Mind-boggling in its implications, the conspiracy aimed at changing the direction of American politics but went much further, altering the political direction of the whole world. In the view of the conspirators, John F. Kennedy should never have become president. His plans to put the needs of the people before those of big business were intolerable. There were fears that he had a socialist streak 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 was covered up by stark fear for many years. It is a tale of intrigue, unholy alliances and unimaginable callousness. Revealing 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.

    • Po prostudování tisíců dokumentů z nichž některé nebyly nikdy publikované, Matthew Smith přesvědčivě obhajuje novou, překvapivou verzi událostí. Jeho argumentace je založena nejen na těchto dokumentech a na celém soudním řízení, ale také na tajných, důvěrných páscích, které Marilyn natočila pro svého psychiatra ve dnech před svou smrtí – páscích, které představují ženu zodpovědnou za svůj život a osud, ženu očekávající rušnou, jasnou budoucnost, Tady, ve vlastních slovech přepsaných z pásků jsou nejsoukromější, nejtajnější myšlenky Marilyn Monroe. Čtyřicet let po své smrti zůstává Marilyn ikonou a záhadou. Nové pátrání Matthewa Smitha kolem její smrti povede k novému chápání toho, co se skutečně stalo oné srpnové noci roku 1962 a během týdnů předtím.
