JFK
John F. Kennedy was elected as the 35th president of the United States in 1960. At that time, he was a member of one of the wealthiest families in America. He had an extremely elite education and was considered a military hero, though his act of heroism is still questioned by many. His running mate for the election was not his to choose and was not someone he cared to have as a vice-president. Lyndon B. Johnson was not a personable man, he lacked charm, and thought he, himself was handsome and funny. Neither of which were true. Lyndon had been put in place as his running mate by the political machine and Lyndon hated the Kennedy's. John Fitzegerald Kennedy did win the race, but not without the help of his father who had connections with organized crime. This is his story...
Jackie Kennedy
When we think of how we would like to be remembered, many things will come to mind. Perhaps for our family, maybe for things we have achieved, for our kindness, or for our understanding, and empathy.Though, for Jackie Kennedy, recognition comes mostly from one day in November 1963, her involvement in a defining event which fixes her in the public eye. Despite the fact that she would go on to achieve much more in her life and prior to that day had built up a promising career. That one afternoon in Texas, when her husband President John F Kennedy was assassinated, is the abiding image of a life well lived. This book will look at that dreadful day, but will also show that Jackie Bouvier, later Kennedy then Onassis, should be remembered for more than just one single, terrible event. We will consider her childhood, growing up in a privileged but troubled environment. The early career she abandoned to become one of the most famous and influential women on earth.
