Bobby Kennedy. Jacqueline Kennedy.
Two of the most fascinating figures in history, both deeply affected by the assassination of their respective brother and husband, President John F. Kennedy. Yet many may not know how this loss brought these two even closer together.
What had been an open secret among Kennedy insiders for years is finally revealed in Pulitzer Prize nominee C. David Heymann’s new book, BOBBY AND JACKIE: A Love Story.
What began as an affair in 1963 over shared grief, the love story between Jackie and Bobby lasted until his tragic assassination at the Democratic national convention in 1968.
Late-night rendezvous at Jackie’s Fifth Avenue apartment.
Impassioned embraces at the Kennedy estate in Palm Beach.
These interludes had been whispered about for decades. Now, BOBBY AND JACKIE gives the reader behind-closed-doors access to these and other accounts of their secret relationship.
Also included are tales of Jackie’s relationship with shipping industrialist, Aristotle Onassis, who vied with Bobby for Jackie’s love, Bobby’s many affairs with other women, and Bobby’s wife Ethel Kennedy’s open contempt for her famous sister-in-law.
Drawing on more than two decades worth of personal interviews, as well as previously unreleased reports by the Secret Service and the FBI made available through the Freedom of Information Act, Heymann documents this complex relationship in his moving, enlightening and enormously entertaining new book.
