As new condition maroon boards/black spine/gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Acknowledgments; Introduction and Epilogue. Illustrated with both black-and-white and color photographs. Signed by the author with thin black Sharpie on the first front endpaper. "John was lively and asuredly real. He could not sit still. He loved the blues. He could eat more than anyone I've ever known. He had a cavalier attitude toward danger, and he had a thing for hardheaded - and beautiful - women." - from the rear outer jacket " In the world of Boston politics and during summers on Cape Cod, two sons of Irish kings became friends. John F. Kennedy, Jr., and William "Billy" Noonan forged a boyhood bond through daring physical feats, yacht club dances, and trying to score beer. Their relationship intensified in the shadows of their absent fathers, and continued through colleges, girlfriends, illness, careers, and marriage. Although revealing, Forever Young is more than just an expose of charmed lives. It is likely to be the most honest and illuminating portrait of America's best known son ever written, told with great affection and respect, but also with plenty of the humor that the two young men shared. Noonan chose to write Forever Young because existing books and articles about John do not capture him at all. The myths are abundant, of course, beginning with the moment he saluted his father's casket as a little boy and continuing to his death at age thirty-eight and even today. For the first time, Billy Noonan takes us inside the Kennedy compound, where we glimpse America's prince struggling with what it meant to be the son of a man he hardly remembered. As an adult, JFK, Jr. would embrace his father's legacy and character in order to define his own destiny. With intimate accounts and never before seen photos, Noonan reveals his friend as a man committed to his family, but determined to live his life on his own terms." - from the inner front jacket flap.
