      A Portrait of Her Final Days

      In November 1993, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis fell from her horse during a hunt in Virginia. Just six months later, on May 19, 1994, this iconic woman passed away in her Park Avenue home. Edward Klein, who knew Jackie for over a dozen years, offers a moving account of her last months and a celebration of her life as she faced death with bravery and grace. Upon her diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Jackie embraced a renewed spiritual life, surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and Maurice Tempelsman, who brought her joy. Klein notes that no one in modern times has been scrutinized as thoroughly as Jackie, yet the climactic moment of her life—how she orchestrated her own death—remains a mystery. This book seeks to lift that veil. Klein chronicles Jackie's diagnosis, the rapid progression of her illness, and the treatments she chose to endure or refuse. Through this heart-wrenching narrative, he also honors her life, her accomplishments, and her hopes for her children, John and Caroline. This work serves as a regal tribute and an inspiring account of the final days of a woman whose legacy continues to resonate in post-Camelot America.

      Wie kommt es, dass in dieser Familiendynastie Macht und Niederlage, Erfolg und Tragödie so dicht beieinander liegen? Edward Klein, langjähriger Korrespondent von "Newsweek" und Herausgeber des "New York Times Magazine", zeigt den unaufhaltsamen Aufstieg der Kennedys anhand der Schicksale einzelner Familienmitglieder. Er schildert ihr Streben nach Macht und Anerkennung, bei dem Ethik und Moral nur noch eine untergeordnete Rolle spielten. Er beschreibt aber auch die andere Seite: ihre Ohnmacht gegenüber einem unausweichlichen Fluch.
