Everyone knows that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was married to two of
the twentieth century's most powerful men: John F. Kennedy and Aristotle
Onassis. Lesser known are the five incredible years between those
marriages, when she was on her own. Jackie tells that story--the story
of a woman who was globally famous, and yet utterly enigmatic.
The world was shocked when Jacqueline Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis
in 1968. It would not have been so surprising had the truth of their
relationship--which dated back to the 1950s--been known. Jackie knew Ari
almost as long as she had known John F. Kennedy--and saw qualities in
him (besides money) that she found highly attractive.
The five years between her marriages to JFK and Onassis are often
overlooked. But it was an incredible period of growth and change for
Jackie. How did the world's most famous woman remain so enigmatic? What
was she really like? This book reveals the real Jackie, the one that
hid behind her trademark large sunglasses.
In this book, you'll learn about:
- Jackie's lovers--and the one man she regretted not marrying
- The secret, second burial of JFK
- Her evolution from "political wife Jackie" into "nightclubbing, party
girl Jackie"
- Her own near death in 1967
- Her influence on pop art, fashion, and design
