Review
In lieu of an unrevealing Famous-People-I-Have-Known autobiography, the owner of the Washington Post has chosen to be remarkably candid about the insecurities prompted by remote parents and a difficult marriage to the charismatic, manic-depressive Phil Graham, who ran the newspaper her father acquired. Katharine's account of her years as subservient daughter and wife is so painful that by the time she finally asserts herself at the Post following Phil's suicide in 1963 (more than halfway through the book), readers will want to cheer. After that, Watergate is practically an anticlimax.
From the Publisher
Remarkable. Katharine Graham has a wonderful story to tell - the story of her life. Listening to Katharine Graham tell you, in her own voice, the stories of her childhood, to the infamous Black & White Ball, to running The Washington Post, this is recorded history at its best. A wonderful AudioBook.
