Unredacted - The Video Interviews: Burton Hersh (Part I)

Welcome to "Unredacted," the MFF's interview show featuring authors and experts on the Kennedy assassination and related topics. This episode features an interview with Burton Hersh, author of "The Old Boys" and the new book "Bobby and J. Edgar: The Historic Face-Off Between the Kennedys and J. Edgar Hoover That Transformed America."

The story puts the relationship between Attorney General Robert Kennedy and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover into a context which includes father Joe Kennedy's not-always-savory past, RFK's tenure with the McCarthy Committee and his disdain for its counsel Roy Cohn, mobsters including Frank Costello and Sam Giancana, and much of the rest of the saga of the Kennedy family. Drawing upon both published works and insider interviews, Hersh paints a complex portrait which neither vilifies nor glorifies either RFK or Hoover.

In this installment, Hersh shares his personal view of Robert Kennedy.

@jfkcia Good eye.. I could see how this guy would draw your interest.

Interesting The Ferrell Foundation would be feature him. I have viewed this a few times before. The political forecast is interesting. Someone felt Bobby was a actual threat, and wasn't taking any chances. Or did [they] simply want him gone regardless.

Is this guy a CIA disinformation writer? Let me get his book and i'll know after ten minutes of reading.

Sam Giancana was contracted to kill Castro, the attempt failed but pay was still do, Kennedy bailed out and Giancana whacked him.... The Mob Rules
