JFK, Jr., and Me

Get in the cockpit the fateful night John F. Kennedy, Jr. crashed his plane off Martha's Vineyard, and take a journey through celebrity, tragedy, murder, and the lives of people on the other side of Camelot. Author Robert Chartuk was there when John John's plane was lifted out of the Atlantic and had a wheelhouse view of the TWA Flight 800 disaster as it unfolded near his hometown on Eastern Long Island. Take a front-row seat for this heartbreaking and humorous account of his small-town life in the shadow of the Kennedys, including the infamous murder of New York financier Ted Ammon-stories that tell of the profound consequences of the choices people make. From "Deadman's Curve" and "The Mother of All Snowstorms" to the joys of flight and the characters that make up our rich political history-and the accusation that the author himself helped bring about Kennedy's death-these are stories that just had to be put down on paper.
