Capturing Camelot: Stanley Tretick's Iconic Images Of The Kennedys (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Kitty Kelley's book includes some of the most memorable Kennedy photographs taken, including one of John Jr. hiding underneath his father's Oval Office desk. Kelley, a friend of photographer Stanley Tretick, includes interesting insights into Tretick's relationship with the Kennedy family, especially the president and Jackie. Included in the book is correspondence between Tretick and the Kennedys as well as Tretick's personal notes. Interesting but to be honest, got bored with the read and skimmed through it for the pictures. Guess, I've read and seen so much about the Kennedy's, couldn't really get into an outsider's viewpoint (Kitty Kelly) via her friend, Stanley Tretick's stories as told to Kelly. However, did enjoy the story about Stanley sending fish heads to critic who wrote a bad review of Kelly's book on Elizabeth Taylor. Pictures of Kennedy family were also a delight.
