Bradlee, unfortunately, comes across as a bit of an ass. It's interesting background for looking at the Pentagon Papers/Watergate era, but isn't as content-rich as one might want.
This was interesting from a journalistic point of view. I loved "All the President's Men," so it was an enriching addition. Still, Bradlee manages to make his own life none-too-engaging, maybe because he writes so distantly of it. A man's man, for sure.
