The Poison Patriarch: How the Betrayals of Joseph P. Kennedy Caused the Assassination of JFK
Focusing for the first time on why attorney general Robert F. Kennedy wasnâ€™t killed in 1963 instead of on why President John F. Kennedy was, Mark Shaw offers a stunning and provocative assassination theory that leads directly to the family patriarch, Joseph P. Kennedy.

Mining fresh information and more than forty new interviews, Shaw weaves a spellbinding narrative involving Mafia don Carlos Marcello; Jack Ruby (Lee Harvey Oswaldâ€™s killer); Rubyâ€™s attorney, Melvin Belli; and, ultimately, the Kennedy brothers and their father.

Shaw addresses these tantalizing questions:
- Why, shortly after his brotherâ€™s death, did a grief-stricken RFK tell a colleague, â€œI thought they would get one of us . . . I thought it would be meâ€?
- Why was Belli, an attorney with almost no defense experience (but proven ties to the Mafia), chosen as Jack Rubyâ€™s attorney?
- How does Belliâ€™s Mafia connection call into question his legal strategy, which ultimately led to the Rubyâ€™s first-degree murder conviction and death sentence?
- What was Joseph Kennedyâ€™s relationship to organized crime? And how was his insistence that JFK appoint RFK as attorney general tantamount to signing the presidentâ€™s death warrant?
For fifty years, Shaw maintains, researchers investigating the presidentâ€™s murder in Dallas have been looking at the wrong motives and actors. The Poison Patriarch offers a shocking reassessmentâ€”one that is sure to alter the course of future assassination debates.
