Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Theodore White's autobiography is the story of a man who literally covered the world, who understood that world and wrote about it brilliantly. This is a marvelous rags-to-riches autobiography, thoughtful, dramatic and funny, filled with perceptive details about events and personalities. In his parade of people and events, we meet Douglas MacArthur, both as outcast and conqueror; listen to a troubled Eisenhower preparing to lay aside his uniform and plunge into politics; visit Mao Tse-tung in his cave in Henan; and trace the power-curve of America's greatness across the glory years at home and abroad. Prologue: The Storyteller Boston: 1915-38 Asia: 1938-45 Europe: 1948-53 America: 1954-63 Epilogue: Outward Bound Acknowledgments Index
