Here is the woman as she has never been seen before. 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, in time, international fame. But the trauma of her husband's murder would damage her far more than has been known. Until now.

nice book
If you were going to read just one book about Jackie- this would not be it. It is a nice book, too nice, but if you have kept up with her story as it has unfolded over the decades, this account might be a big disappointment. The author avoids the more scandalous potholes of Jackie's troubled road... and skims over those she dares to cross. She observes how the Kennedys avoided any mention of Jackie's second marriage at her funeral... but she has an aversion to the facts herself- creating a PG-13 version suitable for Television... but carefully avoiding many sticky and intriguing elements which would shed important light into the former First Lady's inexplicable behavior. If you are seeking details about her sister's dalliances, (an authentic '60's wild child) especially with Aristotle Onassis, and her role in introducing Mrs. Kennedy to him before the assassination, or details and justifications about Jackie's courtship with him which eluded her closest friends, then again, this book is not your huckleberry. Still, she documents a few Kennedy moral debacles, and reveals how Ted Kennedy completely botched his role as protector and advisor during the courtship, and fell whole-hog into an Onassis party trap (he could not resist), set to distract and neutralize him and the family's objections to the union. His behavior only proved that Jackie needed a kind of physical and emotional security the Kennedy's had never known and could not buy. It is well written, engaging... and good entertainment... just the kind of whitewash modern liberal publishers might prefer to fill the bill while effectively burying the Democratic scandals of the Century.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
