The #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Mrs. Kennedy and Me
reveal never-before-told stories of Secret Service Agent Clint
Hill's travels with Jacqueline Kennedy through Europe, Asia, and
South America. Featuring more than two hundred rare and
never-before-published photographs. While preparing to sell his
home in Alexandria, Virginia, retired Secret Service agent Clint
Hill uncovers an old steamer trunk in the garage, triggering a
floodgate of memories. As he and Lisa McCubbin, his coauthor on
three previous books, pry it open for the first time in fifty
years, they find forgotten photos, handwritten notes, personal
gifts, and treasured mementos from the trips on which Hill
accompanied First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy as her Secret Service
agent-trips that took them from Paris to London, through India,
Pakistan, Greece, Morocco, Mexico, South America, and "three
glorious weeks on the Amalfi Coast." During these journeys,
Jacqueline Kennedy became one of her husband's-and
America's-greatest assets; in Hill's words and the opinion of many
others, "one of the best ambassadors the United States has ever
had." As each newfound treasure sparks long-suppressed memories,
Hill provides new insight into the intensely private woman he
always called "Mrs. Kennedy" and who always called him "Mr. Hill."
For the first time, he reveals the depth of the relationship that
developed between them as they traveled around the globe. Now
ninety years old, Hill recounts the tender moments, the private
laughs, the wild adventures, and the deep affection he shared with
one of the world's most beautiful and iconic women-and these
memories are brought vividly to life alongside more than two
hundred rare photographs, many of them previously unpublished. In
addition to the humorous stories and intimate moments, Hill reveals
startling details about how traveling helped them both heal during
the excruciating weeks and months following the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy in November 1963. He also writes of the
year he spent protecting Mrs. Kennedy after the assassination, a
time in his life he has always been reluctant to speak about. My
Travels with Mrs. Kennedy unveils a personal side of history that
has never been told before and takes the reader on a breathtaking
journey, experiencing what it was like for Clint Hill to travel
with Jacqueline Kennedy as the entire world was falling in love
with her.
