It was 60 years ago today that CS Lewis and Aldous Huxley died, but news of their deaths were overshadowed by the assassination of President John F Kennedy that very same day of November 22, 1963.<\/p>\n
JFK\u2019s short administration spanned just over 1000 days, but historians lay and academic have been fascinated by the man, his wife Jackie and the whole Kennedy family for decades.<\/p>\n
Speaking previously with Express.co.uk in an exclusive interview, Christopher Andersen \u2013 the bestselling author of These Few Precious Days: The Final Year of Jack and Jackie \u2013 shared little known facts about the President and First Lady.<\/p>\n
The Kennedy expert unveiled how JFK was obsessed with death and how he prophetically had a feeling his would be a violent one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Andersen shared: \u201cI don\u2019t think most people realise how fatalistic, in the most eerie way possible, Jack was. You couldn\u2019t have a conversation with him that lasted very long without him bringing it up.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe used to ask his friends how they wanted to die. He even said as they left for Dallas [where he was assassinated], \u2018If somebody wants to shoot me, they can do it and I\u2019m not going to worry about it.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had these premonitions frequently, that his life would end violently and terribly. I just think it\u2019s stunning how often he talked about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Andesen added: \u201cBetween Jack and Jackie, they were given the Last Rites from the Roman Catholic Church six times. He\u2019d almost died in back surgery, she had almost died with a miscarriage and child birth.\u201d<\/p>\n
But of course, in the end, his life would tragically end at the hands of Lee Harvey Oswald on that fateful November day in Dealey Plaza, Dallas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
