Summary

The story of a political and personal friendship unlike any other.

When they first met at Harvard in 1946, young Kenny O’Donnell and Bobby Kennedy could not have imagined where their lives would take them. The friendship they built saw them through some of the most pivotal moments of the twentieth century - including Robert Kennedy’s tenure as attorney general and O’Donnell’s time spent as John F. Kennedy’s chief of staff - and only ended with RFK’s tragic death.

With full access to the Kennedy family archives, Helen O’Donnell, daughter of Kenneth, brings a history-making friendship to life for future generations.
