About this listen
A New York Times best seller
A major new biography of John F. Kennedy Jr. from a leading historian who was also a close friend, America’s Reluctant Prince is a deeply researched, personal, surprising, and revealing portrait of the Kennedy heir the world lost too soon.
Through the lens of their decades-long friendship and including exclusive interviews and details from previously classified documents, noted historian and New York Times best-selling author Steven M. Gillon examines John F. Kennedy Jr.’s life and legacy from before his birth to the day he died. Gillon covers the highs, the lows, and the surprising incidents, viewpoints, and relationships that John never discussed publicly, revealing the full story behind JFK Jr.'s complicated and rich life. In the end, Gillon proves that John’s life was far more than another tragedy - rather, it’s the true key to understanding both the Kennedy legacy and how America’s first family continues to shape the world we live in today.

Too long but interesting
This is a long book about someone who did not leave much of a legacy. It is an interesting perspective on the Kennedys which made me question at least one conspiracy theory surrounding the family. I was struck by how unashamed the author was of his jealousy towards his friend. Still worth a read/listen.
