Here is the inside story of the Kennedy years- a searing tale of passion and obsession: the president’s affairs with Mafia mistress Judith Cambell and superstar Marilyn Monroe, his friendship with Sinatra and Peter Lawford… Bobby Kennedy’s involvement with the Civil Rights movement… the growing power of Martin Luther King and J. Edgar Hoover’s hatred of the men he wanted to destroy- even if it meant covering up JFK’s assassination. Vivid scenes of courage, terror, and desire re-enact history with a stunning ring of truth… and we witness a time of explosive drama and electrifying events- all the more startling because they really happened!
