To mark John F. Kennedy's centennial, celebrate the life and legacy of the 35th President of the United States.In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy recorded seven historic interviews about her life with John F. Kennedy. Now, for the first time, they can be read in this deluxe, illustrated eBook.Shortly after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, with a nation deep in mourning and the world looking on in stunned disbelief, Jacqueline Kennedy found the strength to set aside her own personal grief for the sake of posterity and begin the task of documenting and preserving her husband's legacy. In January of 1964, she and Robert F. Kennedy approved a planned oral-history project that would capture their first-hand accounts of the late President as well as the recollections of those closest to him throughout his extraordinary political career. For the rest of her life, the famously private Jacqueline Kennedy steadfastly refused to discuss her memories of those years, but beginning that March, she fulfilled her obligation to future generations of Americans by sitting down with historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and recording an astonishingly detailed and unvarnished account of her experiences and impressions as the wife and confidante of John F. Kennedy. The tapes of those sessions were then sealed and later deposited in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum upon its completion, in accordance with Mrs. Kennedy's wishes. The resulting eight and a half hours of material comprises a unique and compelling record of a tumultuous era, providing fresh insights on the many significant people and events that shaped JFK's presidency but also shedding new light on the man behind the momentous decisions. Here are JFK's unscripted opinions on a host of revealing subjects, including his thoughts and feelings about his brothers Robert and Ted, and his take on world leaders past and present, giving us perhaps the most informed, genuine, and immediate portrait of John Fitzgerald Kennedy we shall ever have. Mrs. Kennedy's urbane perspective, her candor, and her flashes of wit also give us our clearest glimpse into the active mind of a remarkable First Lady. In conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of President Kennedy's Inauguration, Caroline Kennedy and the Kennedy family are now releasing these beautifully restored recordings on CDs with accompanying transcripts. Introduced and annotated by renowned presidential historian Michael Beschloss, these interviews will add an exciting new dimension to our understanding and appreciation of President Kennedy and his time and make the past come alive through the words and voice of an eloquent eyewitness to history.

I 1964 båndede Jacqueline Kennedy syv historiske samtaler om sit liv med John F. Kennedy. Nu, for første gang efter 50 års hemmeligholdelse, kan de læses i denne deluxe, illustrerede udgivelse.Kort efter mordet på præsident John F. Kennedy, med en nation i dyb sorg, fandt Jacqueline Kennedy styrke til at sætte sin egen sorg til side og for eftertidens skyld, at påbegynde dokumentationen og bevarelsen af sin mands arv. I januar 1964 godkendte hun og Robert F. Kennedy planen om et mundtligt historieprojekt, som skulle bevare deres førstehånds-vidnesbyrd om den afdøde præsident.Gennem resten af sit liv værnede Jacqueline Kennedy om sit privatliv og nægtede at tale om sine minder om disse år. Men i starten af marts 1964 satte hun sig ned sammen med historikeren, rådgiveren og vennen Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., og optog en overraskende detaljeret og usminket beretning om sin tid som John F. Kennedys hustru og betroede. Båndene blev låst inde i the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, som Jacqueline Kennedy ønskede det. Indtil i dag.Resultatet er otteenhalv times materiale og et centralt vidnesbyrd fra denne voldsomme tid. Bogen rummer nye indsigter om mange af de betydningsfulde mennesker og begivenheder som formede JFKs præsidentskab, og bogen kaster også nyt lys på manden selv bag de store beslutninger.Her er JFKs ikke-nedskrevne meninger om en lang række afslørende emner, som hans følelser for hans brødre Robert og Ted, hans holdninger til verdens ledere; det er det måske mest umiddelbare og ægte portræt af John Fitzgerald Kennedy som vi nogensinde får. Jackie Kennedys moderne syn, hendes begavelse og humor giver os et unikt indblik i en af de mest bemærkelsesværdige førstedamer gennem tiden.
