Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
First Lady buff Carl Sferrazza Anthony (Florence Harding; America's Most Influential First Ladies; etc.) turns his attention to the Kennedy family in its entirety in The Kennedy White House: Family Life & Pictures, 1961-1963. With more than 300 black-and-white and color photographs most from the Kennedy Library's archives and previously unpublished visual representation is this volume's raison d'ˆtre. But Anthony offers a domestically detailed and staunchly apolitical history (the Bay of Pigs and JFK's taste in hats earn an equal number of pages) that Kennedy fans will relish as yet another window onto Camelot.

From Library Journal
Anthony, an established authority on First Ladies and White House history (First Ladies: The Saga of the President's Wives and Their Power), offers a behind-the-scenes look at the family life of the postwar era's most popular presidency, exploring the personal tastes, family activities, and complex relationships among the widely extended families of both the President and the First Lady. In a sensitive yet revealing narrative, he describes parenting styles, family vacations and celebrations, and the impact of personal and family tragedies, including the President's father's stroke and the death of new-born son Patrick. Perhaps the 6more than 300 photographs (many previously unpublished) showing the Kennedys in everyday activities with their children, other family members, and friends. These informal, intimate photos by the primary White House photographers show the First Family at their most relaxed and spontaneous. Highly recommended for all public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Kennedy book ever, November 3, 2001
By A Customer
This one has it all. It has the best photos ever seen of the Kennedys. Lots of them are revealing and more personal than ever seen. There is a closeness that the pictures have that the same old ones somehow miss. Also it summarizes the story of this famous family compactly. The writing has depth and understanding.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Kennedy magic still excites us, October 2, 2001
By Jane B. Wypiszynski (Oshkosh, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Carl Sferrazza Anthony's new book is a lovely one, with memories for all those who still cherish Camelot. He explores both people who made that White House so special, and that is impressive. Many books which look at the Kennedy Administration focus on the West Wing OR the Mansion, not seeing that it was a most collaborative effort by the President and the First Lady.
There are photos in the book which have never been seen before in print, such as photos of the interior of Wexford, the Virginia home they built in 1963. My only regret about the book is that Mr. Anthony, an incredible resource himself when it comes to First Ladies and especially Mrs. Kennedy, relies on other sources for much of the information. His own voice could be louder in the text. It is still a wonderful book, a perfect gift for someone who has nostaglia for that era of exquisite taste.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure of a book!!, October 29, 2002
By A Customer
What a classy book that one is! The White House as it was at the time of the Kennedys... and looking at some of those never seen before pictures, we can relive the elegance, charm and grace of that unique period. Two thumbs up Mr. Sferrazza!!
