Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy [With 8 CD's] by
4.0
In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy recorded seven historic interviews about her life with John F. Kennedy. This were made as part of a planned oral-history project to capture first-hand accounts of the late President. The conversations were held with historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Afterwards, the tapes of those conversations were sealed and stored in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, at the request of Mrs. Kennedy. Caroline Kennedy and the Kennedy family released the recordings on CDs on the fiftieth anniversary of President Kennedy’s Inauguration.
The interviews with Schlesinger are a candid account of Mrs. Kennedy's life as the wife and confidante of John F. Kennedy. I was amazed that she could speak so candidly so soon after the tragedy of her husband's death. You get the sense she was willing to do the interviews and was relaxed in doing so. The words recorded are revealing and intimate. I learned so much about John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, the people around them, and world events during this time. And was quite surprised by her comments regarding Martin Luther King Jr, Lyndon Johnson, Khrushchev and other world leaders.
My fascination in the Kennedy's was piqued with "Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy."
