Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis by Barbara Leaming

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis by Barbara Leaming

This is the untold story of how one woman's life was changed forever in a matter of seconds by a horrific trauma. For almost six decades, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis has fascinated people worldwide. The subject of numerous books and thousands of articles, her life has probably been documented in millions of words. And yet, there has always remained something mysterious, something private about this very public woman. With extraordinary skill and great sensitivity, Barbara Leaming explores the seemingly magical world of Jackie's youth, her fairy-tale marriage to a wealthy and handsome Senator and Presidential candidate and her astonishing transformation into a deft political wife and unique First Lady. This spirited young woman's rejection of the idea of a "safe marriage" as the wife of some socially prominent but utterly predictable man led her to JFK and international fame. But the trauma of her husband's murder, which left her literally soaked in blood and brains, would damage her far more than has been known. Until now.

Barbara Leaming is a New York Times bestselling author, and three of her books have been New York Times Notable Books of the Year. Her most recent book, Churchill Defiant, received The Emery Reves Award from the International Churchill Centre. Leaming's articles have appeared in the NY Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, the Times of London and other magazines.
