Jackie Oh!

Jackie Oh! is the first truly intimate biography of the complex and contradictory personality who is Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. As the child of a bitter divorce brought up in socially impeccable but not opulent surroundings, she experienced real wealth and power upon her marriage to John F. Kennedy. As President and First Lady they brought glamour, youth and excitement to the White House. His assassination 1000 days later and her grace during that tragedy elevated her to revered status. For five years she was named the most admired woman in the world. Then the pedestal cracked with her marriage to Aristotle Onassis, the Greek billionaire. Still she remained the cynosure of international fascination and one of the legendary women of the 20th century.
The author, Kitty Kelley, had extraordinary access to many Kennedy and Onassis intimates, including family members, who provided details never before made public about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, her relationship to her family, her marriage to John F. Kennedy, the other women in his life, and the dissolution of her marriage to Aristotle Onassis.
Written with insight the book became an immediate New York Times best seller.
