<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An enthralling, tragic, and intensely private portrayal of the captivating first lady from a man who knew her like no one else. Filled with unforgettable details, startling revelations, and sparkling, intimate moments, this is the once-in-a-lifetime story of a man doing the most exciting job in the world, with a woman all the world loved, and the haunting tragedy that ended it all too soon.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling memoir by Clint Hill that <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> called "clear and honest prose free from salaciousness and gossip," Jackie Kennedy's personal Secret Service agent details his very close relationship with the First Lady during the four years leading up to and following President John F. Kennedy's tragic assassination.</b> <p/>In those four years, Hill was by Mrs. Kennedy's side for some of the happiest moments as well as the darkest. He was there for the birth of John, Jr. on November 25, 1960, as well as for the birth and sudden death of Patrick Bouvier Kennedy on August 8, 1963. Three and a half months later, the unthinkable happened. <p/>Forty-seven years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the one vivid image that never leaves Clint Hill's mind is that of President Kennedy's head lying on Mrs. Kennedy's lap in the back seat of the limousine, his eyes fixed, blood splattered all over the back of the car, Mrs. Kennedy, and Hill as well. Sprawled on the trunk of the car as it sped away from Dealey Plaza, Hill clung to the sides of the car, his feet wedged in so his body was as high as possible. <p/>Clint Hill jumped on the car too late to save the president, but all he knew after that first shot was that if more shots were coming, the bullets had to hit him instead of the First Lady. <p/>Mrs. Kennedy's strength, class, and dignity over those tragic four days in November 1963 held the country together. <p/>This is the story, told for the first time, of the man who perhaps held her together.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"["Mrs. Kennedy and Me"] conveys a sense of honesty and proves to be an insightful and lovingly penetrating portrait of the Jacqueline Kennedy that Hill came to know." --"USA Today" (3 1/2 stars)<P><br><br>"Talk about being unable to put a book down; I was enthralled with this memoir from start to finish." --Liz Smith<br><br>"With clear and honest prose free of salaciousness and gossip, Hill (ably assisted by McCubbin) evokes not only a personality both beautiful and brilliant, but also a time when the White House was filled with youth and promise.<P><P> Of the many words written about Jacqueline Kennedy, these are among the best." --"Kirkus "starred review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Clint Hill is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Mrs. Kennedy and Me</i> and <i>Five Days in November</i>.
