From The Inside Flap:

One of the most celebrated women in history and surely the most photographed woman of our time, Jacqueline Onassis has nevertheless remained an enigma to millions of Jackie-watchers. But now Stephen Birmingham skillfully and sensitively delves brhing the public mask of this endlessly fascinating woman to give us a richly detailed and compelling portrait. Here is an intimate look at Jackie as an introspective child, a sparkling debutante, a reluctant political wife, a devoted mother, a history-making First Lady, an awesome widow, a much-criticized wife of an aging millionaire, and an independent New York career woman. Through this perfect blending of author and subject the essential Jackie emerges at last.
