Coming in September 2011, Hyperion will launch a one-of-its kind product which will allow readers to experience history in a completely new way.

While listening to Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.’s interviews of Jacqueline Kennedy, readers will be able to go back in time fifty years, and feel like they are listening to a conversation between two old friends. The enhanced eBook includes a video clip at the beginning of each chapter that sets the scene, giving a brief historical overview. The user then touches the play “carrot” on the screen and the audio commences. One can just listen or turn the pages to read the transcripts and look at the photographs in that chapter.

The enhanced eBook Includes:

VIDEO

* 22 minutes of video (9 videos in total), including one video at each chapter opener that pertains to that chapter’s material
* Videos range from archival footage of Jacqueline Kennedy to recent videos of Caroline Kennedy and Michael Beschloss speaking about the book

AUDIO

* The entire audio recording of Jacqueline’s interviews with Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. is included, playable in sections at the beginning of each chapter
* Audio has been re-mastered for superior listening quality

PHOTOS

* 85 photographs of the Kennedy family are included throughout the narrative

TEXT

* Complete transcripts of Jacqueline’s interviews allow readers to follow along with the audio recording
* Accompanying annotations from leading presidential historian Michael Beschloss inform readers on political details of the era
* Clicking the annotation numeral will bring the reader to Beschloss’s annotation at the back of the book automatically. Conversely, clicking on the numeral next to the annotation itself will bring the reader back to the transcripts, exactly where they left off.

1. Thank you for this info. I saw the Diane Sawyers

two hour special on the tapes. It was very well done I thought and was like opening a door on history. The tapes were made four months after the assassination. One thing that struck me was how much in love she was with her husband. And how painful that period of time when she made the tapes, must have been.
