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.

最近讀到最好看的書。第二章迴憶傢族曆史、父母對自己的影響,有年老時迴憶這些點點滴滴時的釋懷和幽默,又還有少女式的對父母的一些行為的無法理解。最傷感的就是最後一句:我不再去想父母到底留給瞭我什麼影響,我已經厭倦瞭停留在過去的生活裏。

她接手華盛頓郵報前的部分比較精彩。後麵的管理和政治可能得等一陣子纔有心情讀吧。

凯瑟琳·格雷厄姆,她为人熟知的身份是华盛顿邮报公司前发行人、董事会主席,她被称为“美国新闻界最有权势的女人”。头顶这样的光环,她却不是想当然的那种“铁腕女强人”的形象。恰恰相反,从她的自传《我的一生略小于美国现代史》中,我所感受到的是一位平和、低调、内敛、...

1972年6月17日,位于华盛顿的美国民主党总部水门大厦闯入了几名可疑人员,并被保安人员抓获。这件事情在大多数媒体看来,只不过是一起普通的行窃案。但是《华盛顿邮报》的两名年轻记者却发现里面有蹊跷,这五人在警察局登记的名字都是化名。经过一番调查,他们发现真相令人震惊...

凯瑟琳·格雷厄姆把她的自传命名为《个人历史》,很显然,这是一个低调的书名,因为这部自传不仅仅是一个女人的个人历史,也不仅仅是《华盛顿邮报》的历史,更是一部角度独特的美国近现代史。 凯瑟琳·格雷厄姆所处的时代,从大的范围说,是美国近现代史上“大时代”频出的年...
