My Travels with Mrs. Kennedy

By: Clint Hill, Lisa McCubbin Hill

Narrated by: Clint Hill

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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these memories are brought vividly to life alongside more than two hundred rare photographs, many of them previously unpublished.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.

Touching insights of one of the most admired individuals in the world!

Mr. Hill’s memories of his time with Mrs. Kennedy give us wonderful glimpse of how truly unique she was. How she was able to graciously influence the world around her, and how much she loved her family and friends. How she longed for what she could not easily have - a private life.

Enjoyed very much

I liked that the book was narrated by the author and enjoyed his viewpoint reflecting back on his relationship with Mrs. Kennedy.
I’ve read a lot about the Kennedys and this book felt very personal and authentic.

Very insightful.

Hearing this personalized account of Mr. Hill's experiences while protecting Mrs. Kennedy was very insightful and very much appreciated. It was especially meaningful that he read this memoir. His respect for Mrs. Kennedy is so obvious; his pain after the assassination is heartfelt; and his dedication to the Secret Service is most admirable. He is truly worthy of trust and confidence. It is no wonder that my father respected him so.

Excellent Book

What an extraordinary experience! I do think Clint Hill had a special love for Jacqueline Kennedy. He protected her in a way he could not the president.
