Sons & Brothers
by Richard D. Mahoney
Richard D. Mahoney's SONS AND BROTHERS: THE DAYS OF JACK AND BOBBY KENNEDY gives us a portrait of the family that has haunted the American imagination for forty years. Books about the Kennedys are legion. Yet missing until now has been an exploration of a crucial element: the bond between Jack and Bobby and the part it played in their rise and fall. Eight years apart in age, they were wildly different in temperament and sensibility. Jack was the born leader charming, nimble, charismatic, ironic, capable of extraordinary growth and reach, yet also pathologically reckless. Bobby was the fearless, hardworking Boy Scout willing to do the dirty work and ruthless about protecting his brother and destroying their enemies. Jack it was said, was the first Irish Brahman, Bobby the last Irish Puritan. Behind both of their ambitions, of course, was father Joe, whose thwarted aspirations and limitless coffers lifted his sons onto the national stage. The Kennedys brought vigor, purpose, and the torch of a new generation to Washington; they also carried the sins of the father. As Mahoney demonstrates with brilliant clarity in this impeccably documented, magisterial book, the Kennedys lived their days of power in dangerous, trackless territory. The revolution in Cuba had created a poisonous cauldron of pro and anti Castro forces, the CIA, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, and the Mafia. As attorney general, Bobby had made bringing down the Mafia one priority; another was bringing down Castro and in this mission the very forces of crime he was trying to eradicate came into play. The Mafia, and in particular the murderous and charming Johnny Rosselli, had been enlisted by the CIA to eliminate Castro. Bobby may have spearheaded an anti-Mafia crusade, but Joe and Jack had courted the mob, which played a key role in the 1960 presidential race. Blackmail and double dealing were the order of the day. Achieving power meant compromising the best and brightest of ideals and entering into a Faustin bargain as Bobby Kennedy discovered on November 22, 1963.
