Journals: 1952-2000 Paperback - 2008

by Arthur M. Schlesinger

From his years in the Kennedy administration up until his last days, Schlesinger was always at the center of American politics. Filled with his trademark acerbic wit and tremendous insight, "Journals" contains the author's candid thoughts about the signal events of the last 50 years.


Summary

From his entrance into Democratic leadership circles in the 1950s through his years in the Kennedy administration and up until his last days, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., was always at the vital center of American politics. For more than half a century, the master historian recorded his experiences and opinions in journals that together form an intimate chronicle of life at the highest levels of American politics and culture in postwar America. This extraordinary volume contains his candid thoughts about the signal events of our time, from the Bay of Pigs to the devastating assassinations of the 1960s, from Vietnam to Watergate, and from the fall of the Soviet Union to Bush v. Gore. Filled with Schlesinger?s trademark acerbic wit and tremendous insight, Journals is a fitting tribute to a most remarkable American life.
