Description
"Of all the great love stories that have had an impact on our times - Eleanor and Franklin, Winston and Clementine, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor - none has remained as shrouded in secrecy and misunderstanding as that of John and Jacqueline Kennedy." "Here, for the first time, their story is told the way it was always meant to be told - with such depth and amazing detail that it sheds a whole new light on the relationship at the heart of Camelot." "For many years, Edward Klein, the former show more editor in chief of The New York Times Magazine, was a friend of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Drawing on his personal knowledge, major research libraries, private documents and correspondence, FBI files, and more than three hundred interviews, All Too Human is an original and unprecedented work on the Kennedys - a book replete with fresh facts and information, as well as a dramatically new interpretation of the Kennedy marriage."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

2932 All Too Human: The Love Story of Jack and Jackie Kennedy, by Edward Klein (read 24 Nov 1996) This is a gossipy, trashy book, though it may have some accuracy. It told me little I had not heard before. this book says that after their son Patrick died in August 1962 they became closer and Jack cut down on his immoral behavior. So how can one tell what happened to his soul when his life was snuffed out? I was profoundly moved by the account of the assassination in this book--it is only a chapter or two but I was devastated by the account of how Caroline was told of her father's death by her nurse or nanny.
