Review: Thank goodness Mr. Hill had the grace to finally write this book. - For many of us boomers, the Kennedys were our country's royalty and the assassination of President Kennedy was a major milestone in our lives. Although we know more about their "feet of clay" than we did then, the Kennedys still shine brightly for so many of us, and not one of them shines brighter than does Jackie. Ten years old when the Kennedys came to the White House and 13 when President Kennedy was killed, those times left indeligble images and a huge tremendous impact on my life. The result is that this book should appeal to many. If you love and revere Mrs. Kennedy, this book will more than satisfy this interest - and not in a salacious, gossipy way. Her story is told by someone who knew her, but by the job description itself remained as objective as humanly possible. Mr. Hill's stories of the family bring depth and more color to these people whose images are so familiar. I particularly loved his descriptions and anecdotes about the children. And of course, I loved his observations about the relationship between Jackie and her husband. The book also appeals to those for whom the assassination of President Kennedy remains a watershed event. I've read the books, watched the movies and have bought scores of documentaries on this subject. I've watched the Zapruder footage and wondered how could it have happened and how did it happen? Mr. Hill describes something only less than a handful could know: what it was really like to be there. Sometimes it was very painful to read, but with Mr. Hill more than any other author on the subject/s, I trusted what I was reading. Last Sunday night, 4/14/2012, CBS did a retrospective on the late Mike Wallace and there near the end was a piece of an interview he did in the late 60's with Clint Hill. Those years later, Mr. Hill was still in intense pain and grief, and suffering from immeasurable guilt over the events on that November day in Dallas. I had just finished reading his book and seeing him so raw was quite powerful. I think time has brought him bit of relief, at least I hope it has. I am so grateful he wrote this book, to give his perspective and to tell us his truths about these people he knew and later, the events of THAT DAY. He relates these things true to the oath he took so many years ago. He tells them with clarity, with objectivity and honesty and most of all with with a great deal of heart. This is more than one man's memoir; this is our history.
Review: A Look at the People Behind the Headlines - Even as a fan of Hill's book on the Kennedy assassination, I delayed reading this book. Mrs. kennedy was an icon to many and I admired her, so wasn't sure if I really wanted to read a bit of an insiders look at her life, albeit from one taxed with guarding her. Hill's actions on that infamous day in Dallas as he scrambled to push Mrs. Kennedy back into the relative safety of the back seat of their limo after her husband's assassination is an image forever burned into our collective American memory. I guess, in all honesty, I didn't want to be let down, hence the delay until a friend told me to just read it, that I'd love it. Know what, that friend was right. Seeing not just Mrs. Kennedy but the entire Kennedy family through the eyes of one of their Secret Service agents was thought provoking. It also gave me an added appreciation for the job of the agents. Hill was away from his own growing family far more than with them, not to mention faced with finding ways to make things happen that he wasn't familiar with. His segments on learning to water ski because Mrs. Kennedy loved to water ski and wished he knew how, was both humorous and insightful. True, that willingness and ability to learn didn't extend as far as fox hunting, another passion of Mrs. Kennedy, but shows how adaptable and willing agents had to be to meet the needs of their charges. I won't reveal many details here, I'm sure their discussed elsewhere, but it was seeing those involved as humans, not the all-powerful President of the United States, but a young man with a wife and family that was the best aspect of this book for me. I do have to admit, that Hill's own rather stoic acceptance of the demands his job put on his personal life were revealing, too, making me ponder what today's agents have given up to guard the current president. These were all people and Hill captures that aspect. One of the memories that sticks with me is one that delves into the human aspect as Hill details a very special meal brought personally by the President to the agents on duty. Bottom line, if you have an interest in history, the Kennedy's, and how history impacted these very human souls, you should read this book. It's an easy read, told as if Clint Hill were sitting at your kitchen table telling it, and is nicely illustrated. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to read his more recent book soon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating insights into the Camelot myth
*by D***K on April 8, 2012*

I watched a recent TV interview with Mr. Hill, and I was reading the book a matter of minutes later. Long live the Kindle! I found the book to be a very interesting look at the "inside" of the Kennedy Administration, and it was a lively and entertaining read. I honestly came away most impressed with Mr. Hill himself, whose dedication to his work, and his unfailing loyalty to his charge, the First Lady of the United States, was both touching and admirable. Around the middle of the book, I began to sense that there was one role that Mrs. Kennedy seemed almost instictively to resist during those nearly 4 years: a high-profile role as First Lady of the United State. Page after page, Mr. Hill seemed endlessly to be preparing for Mrs. Kennedy's next escape from the White House. Whether it was to ride in Virginia's horse country, or leave for the next family vacation or retreat, or to embark on her next solo foreign adventure, she appeared consumed with guarding her privacy, and pursuing more of her many personal pleasures and hobbies. It would be interesting for a historian to tally up what portion of the time she spent at the White House, versus her absences. Mr. Hill explained that the President and his wife maintained something like 6 or 7 different "homes" (some rented, some borrowed, some owned) in the US which they regularly frequented, in the Virginia countryside outside DC, in and around Hyannis Port, in and around Palm Beach Florida, and in New York City. The routine seemed to be for the President to pop in and out of these getaway locations, while Mrs. Kennedy spent far more extensive time there, then he did. Even in the months leading up the tragic events of November 1963, she'd turned her attention to building a brand new home on suitable equestrian lands in the Middleburg, Virginia area, and just an hour's drive from the White House. This came at a time when she and President Kennedy obviously aimed at being America's First Family for an additional 4 years to come. Another revelation to me was that she embarked on one of her private adventures just weeks after the Kennedy's had so sadly lost their infant son Patrick in August 1963. Not long after that trauma, she left with only her sister, and a few White House staffers (including Mr. Hill) to spend some weeks on vacation in Greece and Morocco. A striking aspect of that story is that much of her time on that trip was spent aboard the yacht of Aristotle Onassis, with Mr. Onassis joining that entourage. This was striking, to me, because it seems that one of the many "Camelot myths" long spun by Kennedy friends and allies related to this period of time. I read Mr. Manchester's "Death of a President" recently. He makes the point that it was highly unusual for Mrs. Kennedy to join the President on the November 1963 political trip to Texas. Manchester, and others, have painted a picture of a First Lady who made the trip to Dallas as her first real "coming out" after the devastating death of her son. In fact, she first vacationed abroad, and then returned to join her husband on the fateful Texas trip. I hastened to add that I don't find fault in any of Mrs. Kennedy's actions during her husband's presidency. After all, we assess and elect presidents (not potential First Ladies, or Gentlemen) and, once they take office, we expect full time work from those leaders, of course. But, the American people and history do judge First Ladies, as well. That's natural. The Kennedy Presidency, and the Camelot stories about the man, myths and realities, will forever be intertwined...both fact and fiction. And, it appears to me that the same goes for First Lady Jackie Kennedy.
