And it really was Jackie who drove the immortal legacy from Camelot to the Eternal Flame in her devotion to the man, something she did not see much herself in the marriage. Both partake in the drug injections that propelled them along as the super couple. Jackie is shown for the person she really, was with the qualities and flaws on display, not the breathless Barbie we got through the press. A man of political brilliance at times who seemingly was willing to risk it all driven by his sexual pathology. John comes off as the enigma he always seemed to me.
The good, the bad and the ugly are all shown in the book with no holds barred. This book by Christopher Andersen delivers on lifting the veil so to speak in getting to what made Jack and Jackie tick, primarily in their relationship and marriage.Andersen shows really both sides of their relationship not slanting it like much that has been written primarily on JFK. The Kennedy's have usually been portrayed as our royal family by the press over the years, the perfect political family. I am always looking for glimpses of the character behind the figure we see in public or what is portrayed of them.
I read a lot of biographies as they are my favorites.
