It is nearly fifty years since the horrific assassination in Dallas & during that time the appeal of John & Jackie Kennedy a uniquely glamorous presidential couple frozen in eternal youth by the terrible & sudden truncation of their reign has if anything only deepened. Until now however no single book has gone beyond the gossip & the conspiracy theories to tell the whole story of the Kennedy White House
- soberly comprehensively & compellingly. In a major work of history Sally Bedell Smith now does just that. Grace & Power is a compassionate & poignant chronicle of pivotal historical events seen from the inside out behind the headlines & the carefully staged television appearances. When John Kennedy entered the White House he was only 43; his stunning wife Jackie astonishingly was just 31. Amidst all the superficial opulence & lavish partying we see political crises like the Bay of Pigs & the burgeoning clamour for civil rights from the perspective of a president often barely well enough to appear in public & a lonely young woman wounded by her husbands insouciant philandering & trying to build a new identity for herself. We see how John Kennedy constructed his circle of advisers lieutenants & officials with equal measures of altruism & expediency & the claustrophobic dynamics of the Camelot court. With immense pathos Sally Bedells narrative shows how at the very moment when the President & First Lady had come through the first difficult years of his term & could begin to contemplate a campaign for re-election a snipers bullets ended everything & forced Jackie Kennedy to assume the biggest role of her life. Above all Grace & Power enables us to see the Kennedys & their inner circle beset by the sudden turns of history while at the same time their style & politics were shaping the history of America & indeed the world. For those too young to remember the era of the Kennedys as much as for those who will never forget it Grace & Power is the classic account of a historical moment that left an indelible mark on the last four decades.
