Abuse of Power

Connecting Robert Kennedy's Assassination with the Murders of JFK and Dorothy Kilgallen Exposes Who Was Responsible and Why Sirhan Sirhan Deserves a New Trial

De: Mark Shaw

Narrado por: Chris Sorensen

On December 15, 1985, powerful mafia don Carlos Marcello, referring to JFK's death, told a fellow Texas prison inmate, in part, that, "Yeah, I had the son of a bitch killed." This changes everything about not only the president's assassination but also reveals Marcello's complicity in the deaths of journalist Dorothy Kilgallen in 1965 and the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.

The credible audiotaped admission by Marcello validates fifteen years of research by noted historian and bestselling author Mark Shaw in his last four books as true crime meets murder mystery in this groundbreaking historical exposé where the connection between three of America's most puzzling deaths is exposed for the first time.

To that end, Shaw’s evidence, which may be covered up by a recent governmental investigation even though those involved are aware of Marcello’s confession, points to his use of three patsies, Lee Harvey Oswald, Kilgallen's romantic interest Ron Pataky turned Judas, and Sirhan who served as decoys.

Abuse of Power will stand the test of time as the definitive source for those seeking logical, primary source accounts of the life and times, and the deaths of three prominent American icons.

Fascinating audiobook.

Fascinating audiobook. Well researched. A little too Dorothy Kilgallen-heavy for my taste. Dorothy probably got some truly groundbreaking information from Jack Ruby but since she never got the chance to share it I don't think she really rates as a main character in the Kennedy assassination story, as this book makes her out to be Still, a solid book. Oh, and for god's sake it's Melvin Belli, pronounced Bell-Eye, NOT "Belly".

With all due respect....

I had watched several interviews the author participated in, and was very fascinated with his in depth research of Dorothy Kilgallen. I had placed The Woman Who Knew Too Much on my wish list. That being said, this book (IMO) is an abuse of trust. This book should really have been called The Woman Who Knew Too Much, Redux. I am far from being an expert in any of this, and have a great deal of respect for Mr. Shaw for the time he put into researching Dorothy Kilgallen, but the rest of the book on the Kennedys is shocking in its inept research. If I may recommend 2 books to the author, A Lie Too Big To Fail & JFK And The Unspeakable, to read. I believe it will be most enlightening.

Dorothy The Reporter

Excellent read. Support Mark Shaw and the late Dorothy Killgalan and it’s obvious the case needs to be reopened.

not worth the time

I have several of Mr Shaw's books and have mostly enjoyed his work and research.
Not so with this one.
I will not divulge things except to say that he speculates a lot and then bases "conclusions" on these weak-footed foundations.
In fact, speculation and hyperbole are foundational themes- it was hard to get through.
