I went through some pretty difficult times, and I kept my sanity." - Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, from the rear outer jacket. " "Jack was the love of my life. No one will ever know a big part of me died with him." Jackie Kennedy was only thirty-four when Camelot ended in a blaze of gunfire on Novermber 22, 1963. With JFK, she had captured the world's imagination. Without him, she would hold it until her own death three decades later - achieving a kind of global fame that has raarely been known in this century. Billions of words have been written about her, but Jackie guarded her privacy so fiercely that she remains veiled in mystery and mystique. In this much-anticipated sequel to his 1996 besteller, Jack and Jackie, Christoper Andersen draws on previously sealed archival material and newly declassified documents - as well as important sources who have agrred to speak here for the first time - to paint a sympathetic yet often startling portrait of Jackie in all her rich complexity. Among the revelations: Important new information about Dallas and its aftermath - including Jackie's battle with suicidal depression; Previously unreported romances with world famous men, including Marlon Brando; The true nature of Jackie's relationship with Robert F. Kennedy; Stunning revelations about her relationship with Aristotle Onassis, the real reason she married him, and how their marriage disintegrated; How she avoided the Kennedy perils in raising her children; her impact on JFK Fr.'s romantic life; Jackie's spiritual quest, and never-before-revealed details about her brave final days. Alone after Dallas, Jackie summoned the strength, grace, and dignity to go on. Jackie After Jack traces this remarkable woman's personal journey - and captures the drama, humor, glamour, and heartache that have made Jackie an enduring source of fascination and inspiration for millions." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
