Description

The classic New York Times bestselling memoir by legendary Executive Editor of The Washington Post Ben Bradlee—with a new foreword by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein and an afterword by Sally Quinn.

The most important, glamorous, and famous newspaperman of up to date times traces his path from Harvard to the battles of the South Pacific to the pinnacle of success at The Washington Post. After Bradlee took the helm in 1965, he and his reporters transformed the Post into one of the crucial influential and respected news publications on the planet, reinvented up to date investigative journalism, won eighteen Pulitzer Prizes, and redefined the way news is reported, published, and read.

His leadership and investigative drive all the way through the Watergate scandal led to the downfall of a president, and his challenge to the government over the right to publish the Pentagon Papers changed the course of American history.

Bradlee’s timeless memoir is an engaging, irreverent, earthy, and revealing look at The usa and American journalism in the twentieth century — a “sassy, occasionally eye-poppingly, engrossing autobiography…will have to reading” (The New York Times Book Review).
Ben Bradlee’s career as a journalist encompassed among the most important events of the late 20th century: from World War II to Watergate, from the domestic revolutions of the ’60s to the international revolutions of the ’90s. Whilst serving as the Washington Post’s Executive Editor from 1968 to 1991, the newspaper became a world-renowned and respected model of fearless and innovative journalism. A witty and candid story of a good life — and a great read.
