The plane crash death of John F. Kennedy, Junior, evoked a public response almost as strong and international as that of Princess Diana; so It is perhaps not unfitting that Christopher Anderson, the author of the best-selling The Day Diana Died, now chronicles the demise of JFK's only son. In this attractive biography, which features more than fifty photographs, Andersen probes into John John's complicated relationship with his famous mother, his youthful escapades and his increasing maturity as a person and public figure. Perhaps the portion of the book that will be most discussed concerns the fatal night that the young Kennedys and their friend did. Certainly few disappearances have left so indelible a mark.Book Details
