American Tabloid

This is a novel about the JFK assassination. It also talks about the Bay of Pigs and other events in American history and how it affected the people of this country. The book captures events that include the CIA, the Mob, FBI agents, Cuban political exiles, Howard Hughes, Jimmy Hoffa, and various loose cannons who conspire to make a difference in American history. It is told from three different perspectives: Martin Luther King Jr. , Robert Kennedy, and John F. Kennedy, who narrate the story in first person perspective. Ellroy’s trademark nothing-spared rendering of reality and blistering language are here in full force as he takes his readers on an exciting trip through history.
