First families : an intimate portrait from the Kennedys to the Clintons
(Book)

"For more than thirty years photographer Harry Benson has been going to the White House - and returning with indelible images of our presidents and their families. Now, for the first time, Benson has collected the best of these photographs in a book. Here are John and Jackie Kennedy sharing a private joke; Richard Nixon at his resignation, flanked by a tearful Pat; a somber Jimmy Carter standing alone in the Oval Office; Ronald and Nancy Reagan in a close-up kiss; Bill and Hillary Clinton caught embracing in a hammock; and many other equally telling images. Accompanied throughout by Benson's lively anecdotes, and by commentaries on living in the White House by three former first ladies, these intimate photographs offer a unique glimpse inside the White House and at the private lives of our most public figures."--BOOK JACKET.
