Grace And Power – Sally Bedell Smith, 2004 ★★½

Love, American Style

Power couples are formidable when seen from the outside; the realities of any romance built around image concerns and status enhancement are more complicated. Take the glamorous Jackie Kennedy and her husband, the 35^th President of the United States.

As explained by Sally Bedell Smith, it was a bond complicated by Jack Kennedy’s needs to lead a nation and squeeze in as much extramarital sex as possible. Jackie’s job was to support her husband through his travails and ignore his myriad infidelities as best she could.
