These Few Precious Days: The Final Year of Jack with Jackie
- Used Book in Good Condition
The New York Times bestselling author presents the most famous couple in the world in their last year together, answering lingering questions about this still-mesmerizing marriage.

â€œThe days dwindle down, to a precious few . . .â€ â€”from â€œSeptember Song,â€ JFKâ€™s favorite

They were the original power coupleâ€” outlandishly rich, impossibly attractive, and endlessly fascinating. Now, in this rare, behind-the-scenes portrait of the KenneÂdys in their final year together, #1 New York Times bestselling biographer Christopher Andersen shows us a side of JFK and Jackie weâ€™ve never seen before. Tender, intimate, complex, and, at times, explosive, theirs is a love story unlike any otherâ€”filled with secrets, scandals, and bombÂshells that could never be fully revealed . . . until now. Including:

Â· Stunning new details about the Kennedysâ€™ rumored affairsâ€”hers as well as hisâ€”and how they ultimately overcame all odds to save their marriage

Â· The presidentâ€™s many premonitions of his own death, and how he repeatedly tried to pull out of his last fateful trip to Dallas

Â· Shocking revelations about how the couple, unaware of the dangers, became dependent on amphetamine injections, the real reasonâ€” according to his longtime personal physicianâ€” for JFKâ€™s notorious libido, and how the White House hid his many serious medical problems from the public

Â· How the tragic death of their infant son Patrick led to an emotional outpouring from the president that surprised even their closest friendsâ€”and brought JFK and Jackie closer than they had ever been

Â· Touching firsthand accounts of the familyâ€™s most private moments, before and after the assassination

Drawing on hundreds of interviews conducted with the Kennedysâ€™ inner circleâ€”from family members and lifelong friends to key advisors and political confidantesâ€”Andersen takes us deeper inside the world of the president and his first lady than ever before. Unsparing yet symÂpathetic, bigger than life but all too real, These Few Precious Days captures the ups and downs of a marriage, a man, and a woman, the memories of which will continue to fascinate and inspire for generations to come.
