Synopsis

In this work, biographer Barbara Leaming has written the first full account of Jacqueline Kennedy during the dramatic thousand days of John F. Kennedy's presidency. Drawing on new eyewitness testimony, letters written by Jackie, minute-by-minute Secret Service records, and recently declassified top-secret documents, the author has crafted a portrait of Jackie Kennedy the world has not previously known. Leaming's meticulous reportage illuminates the tumultuous day-to-day life of a young woman fighting for her survival, her marriage, and her husband's presidency.
