Camelot Revisited: The Presidency of John F. Kennedy

Tumblr

The newly released interviews that Jacqueline Kennedy recorded in March 1964, barely five months after the murder of her husband, President John F. Kennedy have provided historians and Kennedy fans across the globe with a fresh insight into the legacy of Camelot. I recently wrote an article on the release of the Jacqueline Kennedy's interviews with Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., and they can be read here. I'd love to hear what you think, and listen to your perspective on this fascinating insight into the Kennedy Presidency.

Limited Edition signed Caroline Kennedy books at the JFK Library and Museum


The JFK Library and Museum are offering a limited supply of signed first edition copies of 'Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on her life with John F. Kennedy,' signed by Caroline Kennedy at a special forum held earlier this month.

I am lucky enough to own a signed copy of the publication, gracefully received from a friend who attended the forum and signing. It truly makes this special book even more amazing.
