Young, New England vets, they were both still recovering from crippling wounds suffered in the Pacific, where they both had been in fierce combat. While their careers would diverge, the friendship and respect that had spontaneously developed when they first met, grew and deepened over the years. Manchester writes that while JFK's death was a tragedy, his life was a triumph, and (this book) is a celebration of that triumph. Culling incidents from a friendship that spanned almost two decades, Manchester recalls boisterous family gatherings at Hyannis Port, grueling campaign trips, and quiet evenings along with the President in the White House family quarters." .
