A longtime investigative journalist uncovers one of the great untold stories of twentieth-century international intrigue; and the secrets it has held until now. Shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis and Bobby Kennedy; two of the world′s richest and most powerful men; disliked one another from the moment they first met. Over several decades; their intense mutual hatred only grew; as did their desire to compete for the affections of Jackie; the keeper of the Camelot flame. Now; this shocking work by seasoned investigative journalist Peter Evans reveals the culmination of the Kennedy-Onassis-Kennedy love triangle: Onassis was at the heart of the plot to kill Bobby Kennedy. Nemesis meticulously traces Onassis′s trail - his connections; the way that he financed the assassination - and includes a confession kept secret for three decades. With its deeply nuanced portraits of the major figures and events that shaped an era; Nemesis is a work that will not soon be forgotten.

This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand politics in D.C.By Karen ChunThe number of influential members of the "Family" or the "Fellowship" or the "C Street Family" will blow your mind. Not only the conservatives you'd expect like Sam Brownback; Sen Don Nickles (R-Oklahoma); Sen Charles Grassley (R-Iowa); Sen Pete Domenici (R-New Mexico); scandal-ridden Sen John Ensign (R-Nevada); Sen James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma);Sen Bill Nelson (D-Florida) and Sen Bill Nelson (D-Florida); as well as Reps. Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina); Frank Wolf (R-Virginia.); Joseph Pitts (R Pennsylvania); Zach Wamp (R-Tennessee) and Bart Stupak (D-Michigan). What you might not know is that according to Mother Jones (in an article co-written by Sharlott) but Hilary Clinton is also a member of this groupAlso read Sharlott's "C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy" for more on this. Sharlott is a top-notch investigative reporter and what he found out will chill you.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Chilling; gripping; and all too real.By JamesOsirisJeff Sharlet did a very interesting thing by slipping himself into this world. I am only glad that he wasn't drawn into it - the cultish mentality is very easy to assume. This is an incredible expose of one of the organizations in America who poses a genuine threat to democracy and personal freedom; all under the guise of 'religious liberty' - religion meaning 'Christianity' and 'liberty' meaning 'conformation to an unrealistic theocratic ideology'.The Family and other related fundamentalist religious and ideological organizations are more real and terrifying than any 'Illuminati' that conspiracy theorists could dream of.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.

Is "Jesus plus nothing" religion; or is it simply unquestioned obedience to the powerful? The book gets a bit weaker in its later chapters; but the core of the book is spellbinding and very revealing.
