Author Christopher Andersen's new book, tilted 'These Few Precious Days

According to the book, the 35th President of the US' s wife Jacqueline, also known as Jackie, had confessed to Dr. Frank Finnerty, whom she trusted with all the personal details of her marriage, that her spouse was so promiscuous and his extramarital affairs were so many, that there was no way either she or he could possibly identify them all.

One excerpt form the novel has revealed that out of JFK's other lovers, Monroe, seemed to bother Jackie the most, the New York Daily News reported.

This was due to the fact that Monroe was a loose cannon who could go public at any time, causing a scandal that would obliterate Jackie's husband's reputation, destroy her marriage and hold her up to public ridicule, Andersen's book claimed.
