KENNEDY MYSTIQUE, THE(ISBN=9780792253082) 英文原版 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子版 mobi 在线

　　America's endless fascination with Camelot has enshrined

countess pictures of Jack and Jackie Kennedy, Caroline and

John-John in our national iconography, but few books have focused

on their instinctive grasp of the media's visual magic. Now, in a

volume that combines arresting photography and perceptive analysis,

Camelot insiders and media experts tell the whole story of the

"love affair" between the Kennedys and the camera—a far more

complex and sophisticated relationship than we often suppose.

The Kennedy Mystique looks behind and beyond what first meets the

eye, reminding readers that JFK and Jackie recognized and used the

media's power, and encouraged photographers to capture private

moments as well as public events. Unique commentaries from Kennedy

intimates and observers like Letitia Baldridge, Hugh Sidey and

Robert Dallek provide rare perspective on the photographs as

historical records, as image-management, and as symbols. Readers

learn, for instance, that the heartwarming shots of Jack laughing

with John one Halloween were spontaneous, but the famous "candids"

of Jack and Jackie putting the children to bed were staged.

The Kennedy Mystique puts the carefully crafted vision of Camelot

in context of early-'60s culture and history to show how JFK and

Jackie turned photography, celebrity, and media savvy into a potent

political tool—and left a visual legacy of irresistible and lasting

appeal.
