Who Is Sirhan Sirhan? Biographer Mel Ayton Interview, Part 1
Our series "Who Killed Bobby Kennedy?" concludes tonight with an in-depth interview of Sirhan Sirhan's biographer Mel Ayton.
British author and historian Mel Ayton has penned two books on Sirhan's life. Tonight he will give us a sneak preview of his upcoming biography of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan "The Making of an Assassin: Why Sirhan Shot Robert F. Kennedy."
Ayton’s previous book “The Forgotten Terrorist: Sirhan Sirhan and the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy” is highly recommended reading for anyone seeking to understand Sirhan’s Arab nationalism, his antisemitism, his past in Palestine, his deep-rooted hatred of Israel, and his motives for the crime. The 2019 edition features a Foreword by Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz.
Of all the many journalists, researchers, authors, and historians who have tackled the RFK case over the past half-century, I believe that Mel Ayton's work stands heads-and-shoulders above the rest. No one understands the mind of Kennedy's killer the way Ayton does.
In this episode Mel and I take you through the story of Sirhan's life, from his birth in Jerusalem in 1944. Mel will describe Sirhan's early memories, education, family, religion, and tragic upbringing during the 1948 Israeli war of independence (known as the Nakba to Palestinians).
We will learn about Sirhan's indoctrination into communism and the cause of Palestinian liberation -- factors which led directly to his murder of Senator Kennedy on June 5, 1968.
Numerous hijackings and hostage-takings have been committed over the past 56 years in Sirhan's name -- including the 1972 hijacking of a Lufthansa flight with RFK's eldest son Joseph Kennedy as one of the hostages.
On more than one occasion terrorists have demanded the release of Sirhan Sirhan in exchange for hostages -- and in a 1973 incident at the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum, they tortured and killed those hostages after President Nixon refused to negotiate.
