5.0 out of 5 stars A TERRIFIC READ, 11 Jun 2004
By A Customer
In Nemesis, Peter Evans makes startling revelations about the involvement of Aristotle Onassis in a plot to murder Robert Kennedy. I read this author's biography of Onassis a few years ago and enjoyed it very much. This book is even better.

A two-family saga about two dying breeds, a political thriller, even, in a perverse way, a love story, Nemesis tells the story of two powerful men - Onassis and Bobby Kennedy - and Jackie O, the woman they loved in their own fashion. Evans's revelations about the mores, etiquettes, and rituals, of their world, makes this a fascinationg study of a society as well as a compelling story of murder, greed, and lust in high places. Often poignant - especially his portrait of Jackie O, who emerges as a surprisingly strong, articulate, modern woman who knows exactly what she wants and is determined to get it - and sardonic, this is a stimulating and provocative read.

I don't know whether all the secrets he dishes along the way can be taken as Gospel, but his sources are impressive, his research is persuasive, and I believed every word of it. I loved it. A terrific read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cracking read and terrific investigative journalism, 3 July 2007
By David Moore "dbjmoore" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Nemesis (Paperback)
I disagree completely with the long winded 1 star review. the 'reviewer' is missing the point. This is a terrific read and an insight into the character of one of the most charasmatic, interesting and colourful figures of the 20th century. The author interviewed people WHO WERE THERE!!
You will find 'Ari' available somewhere but I would recommend this book as one of the definitive books on Onassis.
I salute you Mr Evans

Great read!

I read Peters Evans' biography of Onassis (Ari)a couple of years ago and this book really adds to the story.

I strongly recommend it.
