An intimate profile of the legendary Washington Post editor whose life and career encompassed Watergate, the Pentagon Papers, and the Kennedysas portrayed by Tom Hanks in the Steven Spielberg film The PostA fairly complete and rare portrait of this last of the lionking newspaper editors.The New York Times Book ReviewBen Bradlee was a fixture on the American scene for nearly half a centurya close friend to John F. 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. Follow your nose. Those instructions, familiar to any Post reporter, have resulted in this thoughtfully constructed and beautifully written account of a magnetic man whose career has come to define the golden age of newspapers in America, when the press battled for its freedomand won.Praise for Yours in TruthThe absolute best nonfiction book of the year . . . a work of journalistic art . . . history straight and true . . . should be required reading at the Columbia School of Journalism.Chicago TribuneSurprising and compulsively readable . . .
