Jack and Jackie shows that deeply, unbelievably flawed people can still accomplish great things snd achieve some good in the world. This is a warts and all look at the Kennedys that seems well-sourced. Everybody talked with the exception of the close family—friends, friends of friends, ex-lovers, business acquaintances, service people—all spilled everything they knew. All the sex, drug use and other questionable behavior jumps from the page. Every gritty detail, offhand remark, joke and misstep was taken note of by someone and Anderson gathered it all. With friends like these who needs enemies? Jackie allegedly left an autobiography to be published long after her children’s lifetime but if anyone is still interested by then I doubt it will reveal anything new. ( ) This was an interesting take on one of the most famous marriages of the twentieth century. Though it relies heavily on testimony from close "friends" and acquaintances of the Kennedys, the book gives us a glimpse of what it must have been like inside the Kennedy marriage. No one can ever really know what truly went on behind closed doors, but this book presented its gathered information in an interesting and engaging way. Interesting read. He makes the case that Jackie was after money; that Jack needed a wife to run for president and fulfill his father's ambitions; that Jackie tolerated Jack's philandering because her father had done the same thing; and that they weren't in love at first but that they were by the time he was assassinated. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
