Letters to Jackie: Condolences from a Grieving Nation
&#x201C;This is a terrific, original, and important work, the perfect match between subject and author. With an historian&#x2019;s grasp of time and place and a novelist&#x2019;s feel for drama and detail, Fitzpatrick provides a stunningly fresh look at the impact of JFK&#x2019;s assassination on the American people.&#x201D; (Doris Kearns Goodwin)&#x201C;Ellen Fitzpatrick&#x2019;s wonderful book &#x2014; which is both a perceptive history of the public response to John Kennedy&#x2019;s death and a selection of the millions of letters that followed the assassination &#x2014; is a remarkable window into the character of the nation in the 1960s.&#x201D; (Alan Brinkley)
