The Other Mrs. Kennedy

Description for THE OTHER MRS. KENNEDY: AN INTIMATE AND REVEALING LOOK AT THE HIDDEN LIFE OF ETHEL SKAKEL KENNEDY by Jerry Oppenheimer:

She's the real power behind the Kennedy name. Now, for the first time, her secrets are exposed..

She ruthlessly mocked her sister-in-law Jackie's breathy voice and often referred to her as "the Debutante" She kept a lengthy "enemies list" and blackballed those who she felt were disloyal or critical of the Kennedys She turned Hickory Hill into an eerie shrine that included life-sized photos of Bobby in closets that startled visitors

She made one of the most difficult decisions of her life when she agreed to "pull the plug" on Bobby as he lay dying after being shot by Sirhan Sirhan

She distanced herself from her own Skakel family, whose scandals exceeded those of even the Kennedys.
