About this listen
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 30 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.

"A powerful piece of historical investigative reporting, accessible both to those familiar with the Kennedy assassination and those less involved with the conspiracy theory." (Booklist)

If you could sum up Brothers in Arms in three words, what would they be?
"Updated Look", "Unique" , and Very Interesting...What did you like best about this story?
The authors seem to have gotten in front of as many people who had knowldge of data gaps that were available in the past few years... Really is a different and very in depth look at all of the players. John, Robert, Fidel, Raul, and Lee... they are all followed on the same time line. Very interesting.What about Paul Boehmer’s performance did you like?
Solid performance from Paul Boehmer. Can do the New England accent as well as the Russian and Cuban. Enjoyed it... Some non-fictions can drag. Not this one. Very good.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Way too long for one sitting. But did find myself picking this one back up more often then my usual drive to work and drive home. Just a very interesting look at that period of time...Any additional comments?
They don't spend much time on the actual assassination in Dallas. They lead up to it well and the follow it well... but don't expect any magic bullets...Wow! Really interesting account and good research.
