A powerful portrait of the lives of four boarding school graduates who died too young, John F. Kennedy, Jr. among them, by their fellow Andover classmate, New York Times bestselling author William D. Cohan. In his masterful pieces for Vanity Fair and in his bestselling books, William D. Cohan has proven to be one of the most meticulous and intrepid journalists covering the world of Wall Street and high finance. In his utterly original new book, Four Friends, he brings all of his brilliant reportorial skills to a subject much closer to home: four friends of his who died young. All four attended Andover, the most elite of American boarding schools, before spinning out into very different orbits. Indelibly, using copious interviews from wives, girlfriends, colleagues, and friends, Cohan brings these men to life on the page. Jack Berman, the child of impoverished Holocaust survivors, uses his unlikely Andover pedigree to achieve the American dream, only to be cut down in an unimaginable act of violence. Will Daniel, Harry Truman’s grandson and the son of the managing editor of The New York Times, does everything possible to escape the burdens of a family legacy he’s ultimately trapped by. Harry Bull builds the life of a careful, successful Chicago lawyer and heir to his family’s fortune...before taking an inexplicable and devastating risk on a beautiful summer day. And the life and death of John F. Kennedy, Jr.—a story we think we know—is told here with surprising new details that cast it in an entirely different light. Four Friends is an immersive, wide-ranging, tragic, and ultimately inspiring account of promising lives cut short, written with compassion, honesty, and insight. It not only captures the fragility of life but also its poignant, magisterial, and pivotal moments.

Audio Book Four Friends: Promising Lives Cut Short with FREE PDF EDITION!

William Cohan is the author of several works of non-fiction. They tend to be books about companies and the people who run them. He's written about Lazard Freres, Goldman Sachs, and Wall Street, in general. He also wrote a book about the Duke University Mens' Lacrosse team scandal. I'm mentioning Cohan's back list to point out that he knows a lot about wealthy people and how they got that way. And instead of concentrating on the nitty-gritty of economics, he shows the human component behind the business. And so it is with his newest book, "Four Friends: Promising Lives Cut Short".William Cohan, along with his brothers and cousin, attended Philips Andover Academy in Massachusetts for high school. The school is one of the finest schools in the country, private or public, and traditionally sends half its graduation class to Harvard/Yale/Princeton. Cohan goes on about Andover - both HW and W Bush were graduates - and how their graduates are well-suited to take their place in the halls of power - if they choose. In his book, Cohan selects four friends who all graduated in the same time period as Cohan, and looks at their lives post-Andover. One the four chosen was John Kennedy, Jr. The other three men were obviously more ordinary - I mean, who isn't? - but still managed to make their marks in life. One man was murdered in a mass-shooting, another was hit by a taxi while jaywalking in NYC, one was killed with his two daughters in a sailing accident, and one was killed with his wife and sister-in-law in a plane crash off Martha's Vineyard. I'll let you guess which one takes up 39% of the book.After reading and enjoying the book - one of the men was from the Chicago area where I live - I wondered why William Cohan wrote it. Did he really just want to write another of the 100 books about John Kennedy'on the 20th anniversary of his death and was told by his publisher that it wouldn't sell? Was he told to add some other men - tying it all together with the elite private school where all were educated? I don't know the answer; hell, I don't know if its the right question to even ask. So, I am just going to accept that I learned more about John Kennedy than I knew before, with some interesting additional people thrown in.
