Kennedy ran the US and the world like aplayer with loaded dice. All his life, he expected to be serviced. For most,sex is an optional side order; for JFK, it was demanded: a manifestation of hismajesty, his power, a display of entitlement and godlike behaviour – theresulting mess was for others to clean up. For the Kennedy men, beginning withprolific philanderer Joe Kennedy Senior, risk was a turn-on.As another Kennedy, Bobby Junior – son of a would-bepresident, nephew of another – runs for the White House, Reckless revealshow a dynasty’s arrogance led to tragedy.Drawing on new interviews and previously protected police andUS government intelligence files – tens of thousands of documents from the LosAngeles Police Department’s Organised Crime Intelligence Division, the CIA andthe FBI, Rothmiller and Thompson reveal quite how tarnished America’s Camelotwas.The files corroborate how the Kennedys connived with theAmerican Mafia, greedy corporations and Latin American tyrants to gain and holdpower. All the usual suspects from FBI titan J. Edgar Hoover and billionaireHoward Hughes to CIA rogue agents and Mob hitmen appear in an narrative whichsweeps from the salons of Washington to dictator Rafael Trujillo’s torturechambers in the Dominican Republic (where a dwarf called Snowball specialisedin biting off men’s genitals).
