Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy

Foreword by Caroline Kennedy

Within months of President John F. Kennedy death, Robert F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy agreed to proceed with a scheduled oral history project to give future generations a glimpse of President Kennedy and his White House years. The seven interviews with Mrs. Kennedy, which began in March 1964, were conducted by noted historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., and they provide a candid, insightful and loving look into the Kennedy years at the White House.

In the Foreword to the book, daughter Caroline Kennedy provides an equally loving and candid context for her mother’s frame of mind, love for her family, and courage in the face of tragedy.
