According to the publisher's blurb, Heymann "draws on more than two decades' worth of personal interviews, as well as previously unavailable reports and briefs from the Secret Service and the FBI, to create a complete picture of the complex relationship that existed between two of the most heralded figures of the twentieth century." The book also claims that the married senator and father of 11 was the former first lady's one "true love."
The author further states that when RFK was shot, it was Jackie, not his wife, Ethel Kennedy, who instructed doctors to pull the plug.
In the book, the late Franklin Roosevelt Jr., who served as JFK's undersecretary of commerce, says:
"Everybody knew about the affair. The two of them carried on like a pair of lovesick teenagers. I suspect Bobby would've liked to dump Ethel and marry Jackie, but, of course, that wasn't possible."
The New York Post has more information about the affair, here.
