From her media canonization at the time of JFK's death, to the rash of criticizm provoked by her marriage to Onassis, JacKie has always managed to elude definition and has left us the legacy of a legend. In this affectionate and very intimate study of his subject, the author interprets the cultural impact of the public figure with irony and humour.
