This book is a punch in the gut. If I were to find out that my beloved River Phoenix had not died of a drug overdose, but rather somebody had poisoned him, my heart would break a second time. That is how I feel right now about Marilyn Monroe.
Ever since I was a little girl Marilyn Monroe was my favorite. I've read dozens of books about her and I've even read books about her death, speculations that she didn't actually commit suicide.

Anyone interested in Hollywood and politics
I was given this book as an Xmas gift and was mildly interested but suspected it would not alter my opinion that she probably died from an accidental overdose.
I was wrong.
The amount of research amassed for this work is astronomical, especially the documentation connecting the intricate networking of the comintern in Marilyn's life as well as her whereabouts at almost every point in her life and her intimate connection to the presidency. The author has documented that the autopsy was a sham. She...more

I have been a fan of the late Marilyn Monroe’s since I first saw Some Like It Hot on TV as a kid. Of course, when I saw SLIH, Marilyn had been dead for some years, but the conspiracies and controversies about her remain to this day.
The Assassination of Marilyn Monroe, by Donald H. Wolfe was a fascinating read, and one I found very hard to put down. I first read this book a couple of years ago, and it is one that I re-read snippets of every now and then.

So ... the Commies (her analyst, her housekeeper, etc.) wanted to get close to Marilyn so they could get the dirt on the Kennedys while the Kennedys needed her dead because she had the dirt on their connections with the Mafia (election-rigging, Cuba, etc.). Hmmmm. Some of the medical evidence that her death couldn't have been self-administered is quite convincing, but as always, the author accepts without documentary evidence the sources that fit with his argument, and dismisses as spurious thos...more
I don't believe Marilyn was murdered and after reading this book, I still don't believe the conspiracy theories. She had tried to kill herself quite a few times. It was only a matter of time before noone came to her rescue. A conspiracy is made whenever a celebrity dies. This book is really easy to read though and I read this book in a couple of days but then Donald Wolfe's other book is also easy to read too. He is a good writer.
Issue with this
this was a good story
told the the events surrounding her death and the changes in story. Then it went back to her birth and progrssed on introducing the characters that later would be part of the "conspiracy" and may show why they are involved.
But the tape got jammed in the tape player and ruined and was due back at the library and I wanted to know what they were going to do re the ruined tape so returned

I've had this book for a few years now & cannot bring myself to read it. Everyone has an opinion on Marilyn Monroe untimely death but truly I believe she was murdered. This book (as told to me by others that have read it) comes close to all but naming names of her her murderers & conspirators who covered it up. All in all very sad. I will however read it one day to form my own opinion... :(
Undoubtedly, the most insightful and important book written on the death of Marilyn Monroe. This includes just about every detail on the life of Monroe that one could imagine. It discusses her relationships with many important figures in both her life and in society. It includes the layout of her home, all available coroner's notes, detailed biography of Monroe and the people in her life. He notes the suspects, the flaws in the suicide story, and even details in police, ambulance, and witness re...more
Thoroughly enjoyed this book- it's well researched and not only gives a interesting view point on Marilyn's untimely death but provides a lot of really interesting details on her childhood.
A very good and insightful book. Thoroughly reinforced my view what Marilyn was assassinated. R.I.P- Marilyn the person may be gone but her legend will live on forever.
Read this twice during my Marilyn Monroe obsession phase and bought into it. It definitely has a lot of credibility and is worth reading for conspiracy theorists.
I never really knew much about Marilyn Monroe until I read this book. It gives you an insight to her life from her birth to her untimely death.
The author (Donald Wolfe) doesn't beat around the bush in this book, he beleives she was murdered and even names the murderers and with the overwhelming evidence he produces, it's really hard not to beleive him or even beleive that something wasn't right.
From the way the police handled her investigation until her funeral, was a complete farce, missing do...more

This is a huge tome and really goes into Marilyn's life and death. It's always going to be a fascinating tale made more so by the fact that so many of her peers are still around and I'm sure there's still more to learn.....
Really interesting, made me think a lot. Covered her life from birth onwards, and definately a good read for everyone.
This was another very well-written work by Donald H. Wolfe. This book, while interesting and entertaining, was, by no means, sensational in any way. Wolfe drew this reader in by setting the crime scene stage and facts surrounding the discovery of Marilyn Monroe's body. He then methodically reported on Monroe's life and the various associations that she had that ultimately resulted in her assassination. There is very little doubt in this reader's mind as to what really happened and I learned a tr...more
A must read for any MM fan, absolutely fascinating and thought provoking evidence

Very good book, enterntaining and a educational I would say.
Granted we will never know the truth behind the cover up on her death, if only the tapes that recorded what transpired the night before her death were available!!

Her story is so interesting.
I loved it :)
This was a surprise. Well documented review of what happened to Marilyn. Her innocence; the complexity of the relationships and their links to the communistic party.....and the events around the relationship to the Kennedys. And, the coverup.....how sad no justice was possible. Was saddened and angered by the information in the book.
An intriguing account of the life and death of the icon Marilyn Monroe. This book is a detailed biography which takes the reader through Monroe's life and draws its own conclusion about her death. A detailed appendix is included to back up all information revealed in the book.
1st book of 2011
This book was very fascinating. Not only does it go over the circumstances of marilyn's death but it goes into the history of her life. If you are interested in Marilyn Monroe at all I highly recommend this book.

The text is identical to "The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe".
A very in-depth version of Marilyn's life. It kept me captivated and I was really disappointed when I finished it.
