Theodore H. White at Large: The Best of His Magazine Writing, 1939-1986

A collection of articles and essays by the author of In Search of History reflects the turbulent history of the twentieth century in writings on key issues, political trends, and social welfare and profiles of important international figures.

In this collection of nonfiction magazine articles by the late author of the classic Making of the President series and In Search of History , readers can relive the years of journalistic adventure of a masterful storyteller around the world in wartime and peacetime. This is White at his best. Selections run the gamut from his wartime reporting in China to his observations on U.S. politics. There are also his profiles of such noted figures as Chiang Kai-Shek, John F. Kennedy, and Andre Malraux. Especially recommended for general collections, because it's "a good read" about important issues, primarily foreign but also domestic, spanning a 47-year period.
