JFK Jr.
JFK Jr.: An Intimate Oral Biography | RoseMarie Terenzio, Liz McNeil
1 post | 1 read
The first oral biography of John F. Kennedy Jr. is an extraordinarily intimate, comprehensive look at the real man behind the myth. Sharing never-before-told stories and insights, his closest friends, confidantes, lovers, classmates, teachers, and colleagues paint a vivid portrait of one of the most beloved figures of the 20th century, revealing how the boy who saluted became the man America came to know and love who still captures public imagination twenty-five years after his tragic death. Born into the spotlight, John F. Kennedy Jr. lived a short but remarkable life filled with expectation, ambition, family pressures, love, and tragedy. JFK Jr. dives deep into his complicated psyche and explores the what-ifs, illuminating both the cultural and political moment he inhabited and the way this son of a president, so full of promise and possibility, embodied America’s most cherished hopes.

This was an incredibly in-depth look at John F. Kennedy, Jr. We get a better understanding of his childhood, schooling, and young adulthood, along with his ambitions, starting with the publication of his magazine, George. What I found the most interesting was that he might have one day run for office, and you have to wonder if the world would have been a different place if he had found his way into the political realm.
