Raconter Jackie, depuis l'assassinat de JFK en novembre 1963, jusqu'à sa propre mort trente ans plus tard, en 1994 : telle est l'ambition de ce livre étonnant qui revisite l'un des plus grands mythes que les Etats-Unis du XXe aient jamais produits. A la lumière d'archives inédites et de centaines d'entretiens, Chnistopher Andersen montre comment Jackie, après avoir vécu aux côtés d'hommes riches et puissants, sut enfin conquérir son indépendance et une vraie sérénité. Une enquête passionnante, fourmillant de révélations sur sa vie sentimentale tumultueuse. Où il est question d'Onassis, et de quelques autres... On y découvre au passage la relation compulsive de Jackie à l'argent, ses désordres médicaux et son obsession de la minceur. Mais ce document révèle aussi une mère responsable, dotée d'un irrésistible goût de vivre. Un portrait parfois choquant, souvent surprenant, toujours émouvant, de la reine de cœur des Américains.

"Diana's Boys revealed the powerful bond between the teenaged princes, and how it strengthened even more in the wake of their mother's tragic death. Now, twenty years later, Queen Elizabeth II is in her mid-nineties, Prince Charles is in his seventies, and all eyes are turned increasingly toward William and Harry again. Andersen examines how the Queen's behind-the-scenes maneuvering to mold her grandsons in the Windsor image after Diana's death, and her expectations of William as the future king, played out. He questions whether the brothers' famously close relationship can survive Harry's departure from the Royal Family - the first time this has happened since their great-great-uncle King Edward abdicated the throne to marry a divorcâee. He delves into the impact sisters-in-law Kate and Meghan have had on each other as well as on their princes, and how marriage and fatherhood have changed the brothers and, in some ways, also driven a wedge between them. Andersen also looks with an honest eye at how the princes and their wives have been continuously buffeted by scandal - including headline-making allegations of bullying, racism, betrayal, and emotional abuse that has pushed more than one royal to the brink of self-destruction."--
