Abstract: "Sarah Bradford has written a celebration of a life more private and of a woman more complex than commonly supposed. The author's interviews include many with people who have never before spoken in such depth on record. We hear from every era of Jackie's life; from her sister Lee, her lifelong friends, lovers, relations, Kennedy intimates, Washington insiders, members of the Onassis circle, admirers and professional colleagues from her New York publishing life. Drawing on insights gained from these interviews, Bradford builds for us a coherent and compelling portrait of Jackie's dazzling and complex life; from the aristocratic milieu of Newport and East Hampton, to political Washington, the Greek isles, and her ultimate position as New York insider and successful working woman." "Revealing new testimony shows the profound complexities of Jackie's intimate relationships, her deep involvement with the Kennedy clan, not least with her brother-in-law Bobby, and the true story behind the controversial marriage to Greek millionaire Aristotle Onassis." "Complete with rare and unseen photographs from the private collections of Jackie's friends and family, America's Queen presents the woman behind the public persona - tough, ambitious, vulnerable, passionate, a calculating yet loving friend and mother, and ultimately a human being of outstanding personal courage."--BOOK JACKET.
