Death gave a new awareness of these stars, a new vision of how they had really been or now seemed to have been. The hindsight of death gives new meaning to old responses, irremediable altering our emotional reaction to these heroes as well as our appraisal of them. It is this curios phenomenon which the author has explored in this book.
I bought this book for my mother many, many years ago. This time I bought it for myself. It's a cult book on cult personalities, I feel. It's filled with very interesting facts on some very interesting people. In some ways, it immortalizes them and rightfully so...appropriately named... Those Who Died Young. I highly recommend it if you're into this type of information or the personalities it mentions. Either case, you can't go wrong as it's interesting reading.
