Summary

Explore the Lives and Relationship of John and Jackie

Two captivating manuscripts in one book:

  • John F. Kennedy: A Captivating Guide to the Life of JFK
  • Jackie Kennedy: A Captivating Guide to the Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Explore the Fascinating Life of John F. Kennedy

Gallup's List of Widely Admired People of the 20th Century places President John F. Kennedy in the third slot, behind Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mother Teresa. Needless to say, President Kennedy's name is one that will not soon be forgotten. Many people will simply recall him as the handsome president who reigned for a short while before his unfortunate death at the hands of an assassin in Dallas, Texas. They may recall he was the youngest president to have been sworn into the presidential office or he dealt with issues such as the Cuban Missile Crisis. The general American public and the world know much about the surface of JFK's life - they know of his affairs and his ill health - but they often do not recall anything about who he was as a person or how he interacted with his wife and family. This book aims to unveil all this information along with many more captivating facts about the life of John F. Kennedy.

Explore the Fascinating Life of Jackie Kennedy

Without a doubt, the name Jackie Kennedy draws multiple thoughts to mind; she is, perhaps, most well-known in her service as the first lady of the United States, as her husband, John F. Kennedy, took office as the president, and her role in restoring the White House.

Simple but extraordinary

Any additional comments?

Simple book. Short but contains all the essential facts. Fits its purpose well. Of course, if you want to learn more deeply about the man and events during his lifetime, you have to study other books which provide detailed info. This one is for briefest overview. That is its purpose.

More than a biography

Any additional comments?

More of a memoir than a biography, this book provides fascinating background information on the political life of John F. Kennedy. It is not however a complete biography.
