From the authors of the #1 New York Times bestseller Mrs. Kennedy
and Me comes another New York Times bestseller, which reveals
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unpublished.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.
