"From New York Times bestselling author of 'Jackie, Janet & Lee' comes a fresh and often startling look at the life of the legendary former first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Based on hundreds of interviews with friends, family, and lovers over a thirty-year period -- as well as previously unreleased material from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum -- Kennedy historian: J. Randy Taraborrelli paints an unforgettable new portrait of a woman whose flaws and contradictions only serve to make her even more iconic. 'I have three lives,' Jackie told a former lover, 'public, private and secret.' In this revealing biography, readers will become intimately familiar with all three. New insights from the book include: -- Jackie's cold feet before her wedding to Jack Kennedy and her secret plan to avoid moving into the White House with him. -- Jackie's plan to meet with the woman Maria Callas, the woman with whom her husband: Aristotle Onassis, was again having an affair...and why, in the end, she decided against it. -- The truth about the nude photos of Jackie which scandalized her in the 1970s...and the family member who had betrayed her by selling them. -- Her unusual relationship with Maurice Templesman, which was never what outsiders believed it to be. --The never-before-reported, last-ditch efforts to save Jackie's life with experimental cancer treatments, and the doctor who wouldn't risk jail time in order to treat her. Twenty-nine years after her death and sixty years after the assassination of President Kennedy, [the book] delivers the last word on one of the most famous women in the world."--From publisher.
