Product Description

In May of 1954, Orlando Suero, a photographer on his first major assignment, spent five days with the Kennedys. He enjoyed their full cooperation and the intimate access that would later be denied to all but a few. In more than twenty photo sessions, Suero documented a typical week in the young couple's life: Jack at his Senate office, Jackie attending classes at Georgetown, and the couple playing touch football in the park. Suero's photographs capture the idyllic quality of the young couple's lives during their months in Georgetown. This remarkable document of John and Jacqueline Kennedy's first year of marriage recalls the romance and the promise embodied by their life together in America's last age of innocence.

Review
"A wonderful, early carefree glimpse of these two people before they changed the world." - Washington Post; "A stunning collection of images of the dashing young couple." - Atlanta Journal-Constitution"

From the Publisher
"These pictures of Jack and Jackie show a youthful innocence that is almost breathtaking. They look like college students as well as newlyweds, their faces unmarked by the troubles that lay ahead. A wonderful, early, carefree glimpse of these two people before they changed the world."—Ben Bradlee

"What a wonderful, intimate glimpse of two young newlyweds, who were to change the face of American history! These delightfully warm photographs show a side of the Kennedys before all the pomp and circumstance entered their lives, and before celebrity voyeurism removed every vestige of privacy from them."—Letitia Baldrige, Former White House Social Secretary during the Kennedy Administration
