Publisher's summary

Explore the Lives and Relationship of John and Jackie

Two captivating manuscripts in one book:

  • John F. Kennedy: A Captivating Guide to the Life of JFK
  • Jackie Kennedy: A Captivating Guide to the Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Explore the Fascinating Life of John F. Kennedy

Gallup's List of Widely Admired People of the 20th Century places President John F. Kennedy in the third slot, behind Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mother Teresa. Needless to say, President Kennedy's name is one that will not soon be forgotten. Many people will simply recall him as the handsome president who reigned for a short while before his unfortunate death at the hands of an assassin in Dallas, Texas. They may recall he was the youngest president to have been sworn into the presidential office or he dealt with issues such as the Cuban Missile Crisis. The general American public and the world know much about the surface of JFK's life - they know of his affairs and his ill health - but they often do not recall anything about who he was as a person or how he interacted with his wife and family. This book aims to unveil all this information along with many more captivating facts about the life of John F. Kennedy.

Explore the Fascinating Life of Jackie Kennedy

Without a doubt, the name Jackie Kennedy draws multiple thoughts to mind; she is, perhaps, most well-known in her service as the first lady of the United States, as her husband, John F. Kennedy, took office as the president, and her role in restoring the White House.

This is an intimate view book.

This book gives so much detailed information about the Life of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis, as well as the private side of JFK, his relationship with Jackie, and the "other women" in his life. A good read!

It is a very good book.

This would have made for a better read. I recently read that Jackie’s half-brother was a source of this book which doesn’t say much. So overall a distant win on this book.

A top guide for me to listen.

This audible provided much detail about the various characters and events. This author well details the people and relations. Author’s book is required reading for any Kennedy enthusiast, but it's pedagogic and methodical, whereas this book is relational.

Turner by Superb Biographer

The author has once again turned his excellent biographer's eye on his subjects and produced another page-turner of a book. Thoroughly researched with excellent photos. Highly recommend!

Complicated and Competitive

First-rate book if you are interested in John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis very affected and painful subtext going on between these three women and I read it from cover to cover in two days. Well-written and expressively interesting because everyone is in competition with the other. Most importantly, interesting read if this is your thing - and ironic and funny at times. Highly recommend for a gossipy and historical read.

Astounding and dynamic.


Author did a great job in their extensive research of inside information about one of the most powerful and well-loved couples in the White House. I was intrigued by the shocking revelations about their lives, official and private affairs...

Got many new things in it.

An absorbing recitation of life in the White House and elsewhere of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis. Intimate and personal accounts of all the characters who surround them during the "Camelot" era.

Wonderful story & perfect guide.

The reader gains an intimate understanding of what activities filled Jack and Jacqueline's days while at the White House. It details their trips and parties and gives a wonderful understanding the couple's friends, family members and members of the White House staff. I wish I'd read this book before William Manchester's Death of a President.
