New Releases by Clint Hill

Während er sich darauf vorbereitet, sein Haus zu verkaufen, entdeckt der pensionierte Geheimdienstagent Clint Hill einen alten Überseekoffer in der Garage. Als er und seine Frau Lisa McCubbin diesen zum ersten Mal seit fünfzig Jahren öffnen, finden sie vergessene Fotos, handgeschriebene Notizen, persönliche Geschenke und wertvolle Erinnerungsstücke von den Reisen, auf denen Hill First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy begleitete und die sie von Paris nach London, durch Indien, Pakistan, Griechenland, Marokko, Mexiko und Südamerika führten. In seinem neuesten Buch erzählt er zum ersten Mal von der Tiefe ihrer Beziehung, von besonderen Momenten, privaten Lachern, den wilden Abenteuern und der tiefen Zuneigung, die zwischen ihnen bestand. Auch enthüllt Hill, wie er Jackie Kennedy nach der Ermordung von Präsident John F. Kennedy im November 1963 beschützte – und wie ihnen die Reisen beim Heilen halfen. »Meine Reisen mit Mrs. Kennedy« offenbart eine persönliche Seite der Geschichte, wie sie noch nie zuvor erzählt wurde, und lässt das Leben einer der ikonischsten und schönsten Frauen des 20. Jahrhunderts atemberaubend Revue passieren.

"Sparked by long-forgotten gifts and memorabilia discovered in an old trunk, the now ninety-year-old Hill reminisces about private moments, shared laughs, and crazy adventures with one of the world''s most iconic women during her time as First Lady, and the excruciating year following the assassination of her husband. After all, he notes that ''when you travel with someone, you experience things that can''t be fully appreciated by anyone who wasn''t there''"--

The New York Times bestselling authors of Mrs. Kennedy and Me share the stories behind the five infamous, tragic days surrounding JFK’s assassination—alongside revealing and iconic photographs—published in remembrance of the beloved president on the fiftieth anniversary of his death. On November 22, 1963, three shots were fired in Dallas, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and the world stopped for four days. For an entire generation, it was the end of an age of innocence. That evening, a photo ran on the front pages of newspapers across the world, showing a Secret Service agent jumping on the back of the presidential limousine in a desperate attempt to protect the President and Mrs. Kennedy. That agent was Clint Hill. Now Secret Service Agent Clint Hill commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the tragedy with this stunning book containing more than 150 photos, each accompanied by Hill’s incomparable insider account of those terrible days. With poignant narration accompanying rarely seen images, we witness three-year-old John Kennedy Jr.’s pleas to come to Texas with his parents and the rapturous crowds of mixed ages and races that greeted the Kennedys at every stop in Texas. We stand beside a shaken Lyndon Johnson as he is hurriedly sworn in as the new president. We experience the first lady’s steely courage when she insists on walking through the streets of Washington, D.C., in her husband’s funeral procession. A story that has taken Clint Hill fifty years to tell, this is a work of personal and historical scope. Besides the unbearable grief of a nation and the monumental consequences of the event, the death of JFK was a personal blow to a man sworn to protect the first family, and who knew, from the moment the shots rang out in Dallas, that nothing would ever be the same.

"For four years, from the election of John Fitzgerald Kennedy in November 1960 until after the election of Lyndon Johnson in 1964, Clint Hill was the Secret Service agent assigned to guard the glamorous and intensely private Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. During those four years, he went from being a reluctant guardian to a fiercely loyal watchdog and, in many ways, her closest friend"--
