There seems to be mounds of conjecture and very little verified fact regarding the relationship between the Kennedy brothers John F. and Robert F., and Marilyn Monroe.
After the death of Marilyn (which some have alleged was not a suicide), several dubious accounts were published-some of which alleged that both brothers had a long term sexula relationship with her.
Given the immense power of the Kennedy family, it is reasonable to suppose that much information about this was suppressed or destroyed, but now after 50 years, it is reasonable to suppose that most of the facts have emerged.
In any case, what is a good book that contains most of what is known to be the truth about this relationship?
Long list of books about Marilyn and comments from a reader that bought them. None directly mention JFK.

this one has a lot on JFK. How much is true? Only Marilyn and JFK know for sure and they aren’t talking. 
There seems to be no question that they knew each other, and some people have speculated about possible relationships, but where is an unimpeachable eye witness?
With all of the security that surrounds a President and an Attorney General how could they have pulled it off without somebody noticing?
It certainly isn’t out of the question that there was a relationship, however there isn’t a lot of evidence and I haven’t seen anything like proof yet that it happened.
JFK was known to be a man who appreciated the company of beautiful women. I doubt his little black book will ever be found, therefore, the who/where/when is best left to the imagination.
Joe Dimaggio died without ever discussing Marilyn. He was one of the few people that could have cleared up many untruths about her.
Arthur Miller’s bio Timebends discusses his break up with Marilyn and the problems filming the Misfits. I don’t think he mentions JFK.
It’s a known fact that the Secret Service helped to cover up JFK’s affairs, so it’s really not inconceivable that they helped keep a relationship with Marilyn Monroe quiet and out of the news.
“Known fact” or “generally accepted assumption?”

In Havana Nocturne, by T.J. English, there are accounts from members of the Havana mob of Kennedy’s visits to Cuba before he was president, and of at least one three-way tryst that they supposedly watched through two-way mirrors, but didn’t film. This is probably as close as anybody is going to get to an expose on JFK’s sexual proclivities, but it lends some credence to the notion that he couldn’t keep it in his pants.
That’s what she said.
In some memoir by a big name reporter from that era, I recall the quote when reporters were discussing stuff they couldn’t print. One guy said about JFK’s passtimes, “this guy’s going to do for fucking what Eisenhour did for golf”. (Eisenhour was often in the news golfing, presumably rasing it’s profile a a “gentleman’s game”).
Since this is GQ, I’ll offer a correction: Eisenhower.
Read any biography of Kennedy from the last decade or so. The Secret Service was constantly finding bimbos for JFK, and making sure Jackie didn’t show up at an inconvenient time.
“Any” biography? Not really. In fact, the only two books about Kennedy by former Secret Service agents don’t say anything about philandering Fitzgeralds, including both this 2010 book by one of Kennedy’s detail and this one by Kennedy conspiracist Abraham Bolden.
I hate asking for a cite and then providing one, buy you could have just referred to Robert Dallek’s An Unfinished Life. For example:
Dallek, however, never says that the Secret Service helped JFK cover up his trysts, so it would still be nice to see some support for that assertion.
Wasn’t their a secret sex tape of her that was bought at an auction that showed a guy some belived to be JFK
Yeah, the job of the Secret Service is to protect the physical person of the president and to keep their mouths shut about whatever they may see, be it national security issues or loose morals. I would say they did their jobs, which is entirely different from actively covering up any misbehavior.
The best book which explains everything is Marilyn’s diary that she kept with her until she died.
The Secret Service knows, and they’re finally talking but mostly about the assassination and their duties surrounding it. The interview I heard with the authors of the book(including the SS agent who jumped on the back of the car after Kennedy was shot) indicated they weren’t willing to talk about the tabloid type topics, but I haven’t read the book. At any rate it has a first-hand account of how the Presidential personal life worked and would go a long way to fighting any ignorance you may have around if an affair happened or was even possible.
Enjoy,
Steven
Yet you leave “it’s” alone?
Is there any evidence of such a diary? Where is it now?It could answer a lot of questions.
