The Men We Became

Rob Littell was a freshmen at Brown when he met JFK, Jr. Although Littell came from a privileged background, it was worlds apart from the glamorous life of the son of the late President and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Little recounts dinners at Jacqueline Onassis' apartment - where she surprised him with his favourite food - and weekends at her retreat in Martha's Vineyard, where she critiqued their touch football. As students, Littell and Kennedy bummed around Europe. Later, they shared apartments in New York. Later still, Littell was part of John's secret wedding to Carolyn Bessette. Three years later, Rob was pallbearer at his funeral. This is an intimate, detailed and affectionate memoir of an extraordinary young man by a close friend.
