Description

"Of the recently published Jackie books, Christopher Andersen's ''Jack and Jackie" -- which sketches the childhoods of both, then focuses on the marriage -- is the most worth reading."
-- The New York Times Book Review

"Heartbreaking... First rate... A great American love story. This may be the best Kennedy book ever--meticulously researched, elegantly written, a biography worthy of its brilliant subjects." -- USA Today

Theirs was one of the great love stories of our time. Indeed, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline Lee Bouvier captured and have held the world's imagination as perhaps no other husband and wife in modern history. Yet despite the billions of words that have been written about this most golden of couples, the true nature of their relationship has been veiled in mystery and mystique.

Until now. With stunning information from important sources and previously sealed archival material, No. 1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Christopher Andersen examines their unique partnership and the courage, grace, and humor that defined it.

Drawing on hundreds of interviews with Kennedy intimates--many speaking here for the first time--Andersen delivers an important work packed with startling revelations and penetrating insights into the secrets and events that shaped America's ultimate power couple, including:

*Never-before-known details of their courtship, and the other man Jackie almost married
*The world-famous women whose romances with JFK have previously been unreported,including Audrey Hepburn
*Their concerns about infertility, and Jackie's troubled pregnancies; the way Caroline and John Jr. transformed their lives--and the story of how the death of their infant son Patrick brought them closer together than ever before
*Moving first-hand accounts of the family's most private moments, before and after Dallas

An inspiring, sympathetic, and compelling look at two mythic figures, JACK AND JACKIE is more than just the definitive portrait of their marriage. It is a glittering fairy tale, a stirring saga of triumph and tragedy, and--above all else--an American love story.

"Swift and astounding reading." -- Time Magazine

"Andersen tells us not only about the hero and heroine we created, but about ourselves." -- Newsday
