Kennedy and replete with many never-before-seen photographs  this posthumous memoir draws on previously unpublished oral histories  gallery talks  and speeches by Jacques Lowe  JFKs official photographer. Jacques Lowe was the official photographer of John F. Kennedys pivotal 1960 campaign for the presidency as well as his personal photographer following his election  with unprecedented access to the Presidents family and inner circle. Fifty years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy  it is finally possible to publish Lowes own  never-before-revealed account of his experiences during the Camelot years  supplemented with previously unseen material from his private files  the Kennedy Archives  and a range of other sources. In both words and pictures  Lowe captures the charisma of Kennedy relaxing at home with Jackie and daughter Caroline  engaging with the public on the campaign trail  at work in the White House  and as a leader on the world stage. These photographs are an astonishing record of an era when political image-making was far less calculated than it is today. Lowes 40 000 negatives of the Kennedy years were stored in the vaults of the World Trade Center. After 9\/11which came just months after Lowes deathit was learned that this priceless collection had been reduced to ashes  leaving Lowes original contact sheets as the only record of a most remarkable era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44951969562677,"sku":"ByrdShop_0847841731","price":66.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780847841738.jpg?v=1770146374","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-kennedy-years-a-memoir","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
