Publisher's note

Few writers have immersed themselves in the world of the Kennedys as completely or successfully as C. David Heymann, whose biographies of Jackie, Robert, John F. Kennedy Jr., and Caroline together have sold millions of copies and have shed light on the private lives of the most prominent members of this iconic American family. Now he draws on more than two decades' worth of personal interviews, as well as previously unavailable reports and briefs from the Secret Service and the FBI, to create a complete picture of the complex relationship that existed between two of the most heralded figures of the twentieth century.

Americans have long been fascinated by the rumored love affair between Jackie Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy. With Bobby and Jackie they will finally get more than a glimpse of their emotional and romantic connection. An open secret for decades among family insiders, their affair began as a result of their shared grief over the assassination of the president in 1963 and lasted until Bobby began his run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1968.

Readers will gain behind-closed-doors access to Bobby and Jackie's liaison, from late-night trysts at Jackie's Fifth Avenue apartment to fervent embraces at the Kennedy estate in Palm Beach. They will also learn more about the deep friendship that grew out of the couple's shared tragedies, their family loyalty, and their overflowing ambition.

It was "perhaps the most normal relationship either one ever had," Truman Capote observed. "In retrospect, it seems hard to believe that it happened, but it did." Poignant, illuminating, and enormously entertaining, Bobby and Jackie is a glorious account of a legendary romance.

From Heymann, an in-depth look at the much talked about but concealed relationship between Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Robert F. Kennedy.

Annotation

A famed Kennedy biographer addresses the long-circulated rumors that, following the events in Dallas in 1963, John Kennedy's widow, Jackie, and his brother, Robert, began a long and close personal relationship. According to C. David Heymann, their bond was based on shared experiences and was forged in times of crisis, and the relationship crossed the line to a romantic one. Heymann says it was an open, though unacknowledged, secret within the extended Kennedy family.

4 out of 5 stars An affair to remember?, July 22, 2009
By Gretchen
I have been on a 1960s reading jag lately, a kind of nostalgic look back at my parents decade of youth. Helps me understand where they come from and it was an interesting time of change. I was excited to get an advance copy of this book as it looked to be a trashy but fun read, and I can say it delivered on both counts (trashy fun that is)! Did Jackie and Bobby Kennedy have a love affair after the assassination of JFK? This author makes the case that they did and it is fascinating reading. But how much real truth is there here? And even if it is all true is it something the public really needs to know? The book held a certain creepy fascination over me, I couldnt stop reading, yet a part of me thought I should. Its that kind of read. It is well written, and appears well documented but I would be interested to hear if there are any dissenting voices out there? Speaking of 1960s and creepy fascination, Check out "Misfits Country" for a look into the mind of Marilyn Monroe and the making of her final film.
