Love, Jack |
 |
Von Post Gunilla
1997 |
John F.Kennedy was a young
senator pursued by an Italian contessa and the impossing forces of his
destiny. She was a twenty-one-year-old Swedish aristocrat away from home
for the first time. Their accidental meeting at a port in the Riviera
changed both their lives forever. Spanning two continents and the Atlantic
Ocean, unfolding over a six-year period starting in 1953, "Love,Jack" is
the story of a transcendent but heartbreaking love between two people at
the peak of their youth and beauty, a love that seemed impossible but
could not be denied. Here is an intimate portrait of John Kennedy never
before seen: a gentle, kind and caring man, intensely passionate and full
of life - but a man who faces great difficulty adjusting to the demanding
role history and his father have assigned him. |

Forestier Francois
2009 |
Italian version.
Although the book is about their "relationship", the author leads you
through their life and upbringing to give you a real understanding of
their persona. It is fascinating to see how their childhood and certain
events influenced the persons they came to be. |

Golden Harry

This
book is the story behind the Civil Rights Revolution. Harry Golden, one of
the most gifted, literate and humane journalists in America in 60th, here,

the nation... of the men who were fighting for it and against it... and
the man who risked his political life to make America understand it. |
My twelve years
with John F.Kennedy |
 |
Lincoln Evelyn
1965 |
Intimate insights into the life and character of JFK are presented in this
book by the person who in many ways knew him best. For twelve years Evelyn
Lincoln was President Kennedy's personal secretary. Her desk was just
outside his office door; she shared the journeys, the campaigning, the
years in the Senate and his all-too-short Presidency. |
Once Upon a Secret
[My affair with
President John F.Kennedy and its aftermath] |
 |
Alford Mimi
2012 |
In the summer of 1962, nineteen-year-old Mimi Beardsley arrived by train
in Washington D.C. to begin an internship in the White House press office.
The Kennedy Administration had reinvigorated the capital and the country -
and Mimi was eager to contribute.
For a young woman from a privileged but sheltered upbringing, the job was
the chance of a lifetime. Although she started as a lowly intern, Mimi
made an impression on Kennedy's inner circle and, after just three days at
the White House, she was presented to the President Kennedy. Almost
immediately the two began an affair that would continue for the next
eighteen months.
In 2003, a Kennedy biographer mentioned "a tall, slender, beautiful
nineteen-year-old college sophomore and White House intern, who worked in
the press office" in reference to one of the President's affairs.
The disclosure set off a tabloid frenzy and soon exposed Mimi and the
secret taht she had kept for forty-one years. Because her past had been
revealed in such a shocking, public way, she was forced, for the first
time, to examine the choices she'd made. She came to understand that
shutting down one part of her life so completely had closed her off from
so much more.
No longer defined by silence or shame, mimi Alford has finally unburdened
herself with this searingly honest account of her life and her extremely
private moments with a very public man.
"One Upon a Secret" offers a new and personal depiction of one of our most
iconic leaders and a powerful, moving story of a woman coming to terms
with her past and moving out of the shadows to reclaim the truth. |

beginning, a twenty-eight-year-old naval hero, decommissioned before war's

European trip was a turning point in the future President's life. |

Primary |
 |
Drew Robert
DVD |
The landmark film that took us on the road to the Kennedy White House.
"A new kind of reporting, a new form of history" Robert Drew promised John
F.Kennedy. He was proposing that a revolutionary, small camera operated by
cameramen Ricky Leacock and sync sound recorder operated by himself, live
with Kennedy day and night for nearly a week during the climax of his 1960
Wisconsin presidential primary run against Hubert Humphrey. The
resulting film, Primary, turned out to be a cinematic experience
unique in the history of film, the first in the development of American
cinema veritè, and a template for ground-breaking films Drew would later
shoot in the Kennedy White House. |
