In November 1963, Jacqueline Kennedy stepped off Air Force One in Washington, D.C. wearing a dress soaked in her husband's blood. Just hours earlier, President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated as he sat next to her in an open topped limousine. From that moment on, she became the ultimate image of survival. Two sides to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' life are revealed: heart-breaking tragedy, and a powerful determination to survive. Insight is provided by authors Barbara A. Perry, Kate Anderson Brewer, Tina Cassidy and Nicholas O'Shaughnessy. Emily Charnock, Director of the Kennedy Memorial Trust placed her legacy within the story of Kennedy family. As a child, the trauma of Jackie's parents' divorce shaped her into an ambitious young woman who vowed never to be a housewife, but was pushed into marriage by social conventions and financial insecurity. We learn how Jackie Kennedy coped with a life in the spotlight amid her husband's countless infidelities, including taking amphetamines, to survive the goldfish bowl of the White House. Meanwhile, Jackie becomes a global style icon with star power equal to her husband, and a much-revered symbol of strength. With never-before-seen letters and brand-new insight we chart both the private pain and incomparable strength of America's most famous First Lady.
