My Kennedy Years Summary

My Kennedy Years: A Memoir by Jacques Lowe

Fifty years after his assassination on 22 November 1963, John F. Kennedy is still a towering figure in the history of our times and across the world. Jacques Lowe was the official photographer of JFK's campaign for the presidency as well as his personal photographer following his election in 1960. Over 250 images capture life with this compelling politician - on the campaign trail, at home with Jackie and daughter Caroline, politicking behind the scenes at the convention, at work in the White House, as a leader on the world stage, and his funeral at Arlington National Cemetery, mourned by millions around the world. Throughout, the photographs are complemented by Lowe's personal record of his friendship with the whole Kennedy family and his years at the heart of American politics. They provide a unique record of one of the most enduringly fascinating politicians of the modern era.

My Kennedy Years Reviews

'Evokes sadness, admiration and empathy ... The humanity of Kennedy, his family and entourage - laughter, love, anguish, innocence and, in the case of his wife, Jackie, beauty - leap out of the page' - David Miliband, The Times
'John F Kennedy lives again through the pages of this memoir ... a very personal, revealing narrative has been distilled from unpublished interviews and oral histories' - Saga Magazine
'Lowe had an all-access pass as far as Kennedy was concerned, and his images mature throughout the years to show every side of a fascinating president' - Amateur Photographer
'Lavish ... era-defining' - Observer
'An unusually intimate portrait of the politician and his family' - Daily Telegraph
'This account of my father's time in JFK's inner circle is a remarkably intimate complement to his era defining images' - Thomasina Lowe
