In GRACE & POWER: THE PRIVATE WORLD OF THE KENNEDY WHITE

HOUSE, New York Times bestselling author Sally Bedell

Smith takes us inside the Kennedy White House with unparalleled

access and insight. Having interviewed scores of Kennedy intimates,

including many who have never spoken before, and drawing on letters

and personal papers made available for the first time, Smith paints

a richly detailed picture of the personal relationships behind the

high purpose and poiltical drama of the twentieth century's most

storied presidency.

At the dawn of the 1960s, a forty-three-year-old president and his

thirty-one-year-old first lady – the youngest couple ever to occupy

the White House – captivated the world with their easy elegance and

their cool conviction that anything was possible. Jack and Jackie

Kennedy gathered around them an intensely loyal and brillant

coterie of intellectuals, journalists, diplomats, international

jet-setters and artists. Perhaps as never before, Washington was

sharply divided between the “ins” and the “outs.”

In his public life, JFK created a New Frontier, stared down the

Soviets, and devoted himself to his wife and children. As first

lady, Jackie mesmerized foreign leaders and the American people

with her style and sophistication, creating a White House renowned

for its beauty and culture. Smith brilliantly recreates the

glamorous pageant of the Kennedy years, as well as the daily

texture of the Kennedys’ marriage, friendships, political

associations, and, in Jack’s case, multiple love affairs.

Smith’s striking revelations include new information about what

drew Jack to his numerous mistresses – and what effects the

relationships ultimately had on the women; about the rivalries and

resentments among Kennedy’s advisers; and about the poignant days

before and after Kennedy’s assassination.

Smith has fashioned a vivid and nuanced portrait not only of two

extraordinary individuals but of a new age that sprang to life

around them. Shimmering with intelligence and detail, GRACE AND

POWER is history at its finest.
