Ben Bradlee's Books
As Time pushes us further and further away from the days of John F. Kennedy's presidency, it is hard for those with a living memory of his Presidency (and harder still for those of us who were not alive when JFK was in the White House) to have a full perspective of what John F. Kennedy was in life. ...
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.
