9781401309947 English 1401309941 In this haunting memoir, Douglas breaks the code of silence to reveal the emptiness and loneliness of living a life of privilege. Readers follow the author's parents, a politically ambitious charmer and his stylish wife, whose lives slide into a tailspin of tragedy, abuse, and wealth without value., St Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, was a training ground for excellence, a place where the upper crust of US society sent their boys to become men and to learn how to lead the country. But the ways in which they were being trained in 1962 would soon be over. How they adapted - if they adapted - is a fascinating reflection on this period in the nation's history. In The Classmates Geoffrey Douglas profiles his fellow students to see how they fared.
