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.
