Dick Russell - The Man Who Knows RFK Jr

The Curators - For The Kennedy Curious

Renowned author and environmental activist Dick Russell joins us on today’s podcast.
Mr. Russell has published fifteen books, including many critically acclaimed works, such as:
- "The Man Who Knew Too Much", a story about Richard Nagell and the JFK assassination, was hailed by Publisher’s Weekly as “a masterpiece of historical reconstruction.”;
- "American Conspiracies", one of several books co-authored with Jesse Ventura;
- "Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The Men Who Are Destroying Life on Earth", detailing the undermining of efforts to battle climate change by those who seek profit;
Russell’s latest, and perhaps most important work, is "The Real RFK Jr: Trials of a Truth Warrior",
an intimate biography of the son of Robert Kennedy and who is running for president in the 2024 election. The 384-page biography examines RFK Jr’s forty years as the country’s most prominent environmental advocate and more recently his role in defending public health.
Few people can speak to the character and presidential skills of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Dick Russell can, and he does so in such an eloquent and inviting tone.
