圖書描述

Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Biography

An extraordinarily frank, honest, and generous book by one of America's most famous and admired women, Personal History is, as its title suggests, a book composed of both personal memoir and history.

It is the story of Graham's parents: the multimillionaire father who left private business and government service to buy and restore the down-and-out Washington Post, and the formidable, self-absorbed mother who was more interested in her political and charity work, and her passionate friendships with men like Thomas Mann and Adlai Stevenson, than in her children.

It is the story of how The Washington Post struggled to succeed -- a fascinating and instructive business history as told from the inside (the paper has been run by Graham herself, her father, her husband, and now her son).

It is the story of Phil Graham -- Kay's brilliant, charismatic husband (he clerked for two Supreme Court justices) -- whose plunge into manic-depression, betrayal, and eventual suicide is movingly and charitably recounted.

Best of all, it is the story of Kay Graham herself. She was brought up in a family of great wealth, yet she learned and understood nothing about money. She is half-Jewish, yet -- incredibly -- remained unaware of it for many years.She describes herself as having been naive and awkward, yet intelligent and energetic. She married a man she worshipped, and he fascinated and educated her, and then, in his illness, turned from her and abused her. This destruction of her confidence and happiness is a drama in itself, followed by the even more intense drama of her new life as the head of a great newspaper and a great company, a famous (and even feared) woman in her own right. Hers is a life that came into its own with a vengeance -- a success story on every level.

Graham's book is populated with a cast of fascinating characters, from fifty years of presidents (and their wives), to Steichen, Brancusi, Felix Frankfurter, Warren Buffett (her great advisor and protector), Robert McNamara, George Schultz (her regular tennis partner), and, of course, the great names from the Post: Woodward, Bernstein, and Graham's editorpartner, Ben Bradlee. She writes of them, and of the most dramatic moments of her stewardship of the Post (including the Pentagon Papers, Watergate, and the pressmen's strike), with acuity, humor, and good judgment. Her book is about learning by doing, about growing and growing up, about Washington, and about a woman liberated by both circumstance and her own great strengths.

Honest, lively

趁著放假啃完瞭。這本書不僅是她的personal history,更是美國從大蕭條以來社會、政治、文化、新聞業的曆史,尤其是從她這個局內人得角度來看,非常精彩。Phil的悲劇,怎麼看都覺得有點鳳凰男和孔雀女的意思。。。讀完這本600多頁的傳記,再看其他書都輕輕鬆鬆啊

五月初的某天,媒体突然报道David Goldberg猝死,时年47岁。其实一般人谁知道David Goldberg是谁呢?哦他是美国著名企业家,未上市公司Survey Monkey的CEO。可谁没事儿又会知道Survey Monkey是什么呢?顶多有些phd找committee约qual约答辩用过一两次。哦他是Facebook COO Shery...

这是一本好书,可以提供足够多的视角来阅读。 从宏观角度来说,作者的显赫家世、《华盛顿邮报》的行业特点和地理位置、作者八十余岁的生命决定了这本书里满是名人,简直像历史人物对对碰。从罗斯福、杜鲁门到克林顿的历任美国总统及竞选人都是作者家族的座上宾,有些上位也离不...
