Additional Reading
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassisâs cousin describes Jacquelineâs early years in John A. Davis, The Bouviers (1969, reissued 1993), and chronicles her later years in The Kennedys: Dynasty and Disaster, expanded and updated ed. (1992). Many people who worked with Jacqueline have written about their experiences, including Letitia Baldrige, Of Diamonds and Diplomats (1968); and Maud Shaw, White House Nannie (1965, also published as White House Nanny). A short treatment is Betty Boyd Caroli, âJacqueline (Lee Bouvier) Kennedy (Onassis),â in Lewis L. Gould (ed.), American First Ladies (1996), pp. 476â495. Following her death, many friends who had been unwilling to talk about her life were more forthcoming, and the results were published in several books and articles, including Carl Sferrazza Anthony, As We Remember Her: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the Words of Her Family and Friends (1997); and Edward Klein, All Too Human: The Love Story of Jack and Jackie Kennedy (1996).
