Drawing on interviews, archival material, and candid remembrances from family, friends, colleagues in journalism and politics, and those who watched him from the public stage, the book traces his life from the Kennedy dynasty and childhood under scrutiny to his struggles with fame, his work founding George magazine, his marriage to Carolyn Bessette, and the tragic plane crash that ended his life.
