Capturing Camelot<br />
Stanley Tretick's Iconic Images of the Kennedys<br />
Kitty Kelley<br />
A legendary photographer and a bestselling author combine their<br />
talents to capture a magical time<br />
With an illuminating, moving text and more than two hundred remarkable photos—some iconic, some never-before-seen—<br />
JFK and his family seem to live again in this beautiful keepsake of a book.<br />
An archetypical photojournalist, Stanley Tretick was sent by United Press International to follow the Kennedy campaign of<br />
1960. The photographer soon befriended the candidate and took many of JFK's best pictures during this time. When<br />
Kennedy took office, Tretick was given extensive access to the White House, and the picture magazine Look hired him to<br />
cover the president and his family. Tretick is best known today for the photographs he took of President Kennedy relaxing<br />
with his children. His photographs helped define the American family of the early sixties and lent Kennedy an endearing<br />
credibility that greatly contributed to his popularity.<br />
Accompanied by an insightful, heartwarming essay from Kitty Kelley—Tretick's close friend—about the relationship<br />
between the photographer and JFK, this collection includes some of the most memorable images of America's Camelot<br />
and evokes the uniquely hopeful historical era from which it emerged.<br />
KITTY KELLEY is an internationally acclaimed writer, whose bestselling biographies focus on some of the most influential and<br />
powerful personalities of the last fifty years. Kelley’s last five books have all been number one on The New York Times bestseller list,<br />
including her latest, Oprah: A Biography.<br />
