**Caroline Kennedy shares an inspiring collection of patriotic poems,
song lyrics, historical documents, and speeches.**The Best-Loved Poems
of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was a blockbuster success, remaining on
the New York Times bestseller list for 15 weeks with more than 500,000
copies in print. Now, Caroline Kennedy shares with readers an assortment
of her own favorite American writings. The works collected here--which
span centuries and styles--have one thing in common: all are emblematic
of our country's patriotism and pride. Caroline Kennedy researched all
of the selections included in A Patriot's Handbook, wrote the
introduction, and added personal commentary to each section. This
elegantly packaged collection is the perfect gift for anyone in search
of a reminder of what our country's spirit is made of. Over the past
year we have all thought about what it means to be an American. I
realized that I want my own children to know more about the ideals upon
which this country was founded and the sacrifices that have been made to
pass them on to us. This book is intended to help families explore the
foundations of our freedom and to celebrate our heritage. (Caroline
Kennedy)
