America’s Queen: The Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis by Sarah Bradford is a detailed biography of one of the most famous women of the 20th century. It traces Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s life from her privileged childhood and marriage to John F. Kennedy through her years as First Lady, the trauma of Kennedy’s assassination, her marriage to Aristotle Onassis and her later life as a mother and book editor in New York. Drawing on interviews with people who knew her and previously unavailable material, Bradford explores both Jackie’s carefully maintained public image and the more private woman behind it.
