Kennedy; the center of D.C. social life; and a crusty, charismatic editor whose decisions at the helm of the Post during Watergate changed the course of history.Granted unprecedented access to Bradlee and his colleagues, friends, and private files, Jeff Himmelman draws on neverbeforeseen internal Post memos, correspondence, personal photographs, and private interviews to trace the full arc of Bradlees fortyfiveyear careerfrom his early days as a press attach in postwar Paris through the Pentagon Papers, Richard Nixons resignation, the Janet Cooke fabrication scandal, and beyond. Along the way, Himmelman also unearths a series of surprisesabout Watergate, and about Bradlees private relationships with Post owner Katharine Graham, reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, and President Kennedy and his wife, Jackie.Dont feel that you have to protect me, Bradlee told Himmelman whenever the reporting started to strike close to home.
