She always has been a great storyteller and now even more so with her and Dick's own story. I learned so much new information about the sixties. A great read. ( ) A delight as a love story and as a history of the sixties - the time when I became an adult. It is fascinating to read through this recapitulation of the sixties and compare it to my own recollections as a young man. I even recall that LBJ came and spoke at a Graduation at UCLA. I need to look that up and see if my recollection is correct and see he addressed at the time. The time of assassinations that year is indelibly written in my memory. Only a couple of years ago we saw the Laurel Hotel where King was shot. As I think of these assassinations now and JFK’s assassination as well I am left wondering why- what was the motivation. I find no answer. The sixties were a time when our nation articulated a new vision. Its realization is incomplete as said so well by the author - but it became part of our collected sense of nation vision. We badly need leaders that will help us articulate a new vision. While its realization may be imperfect we need it to restore cohesion to our society. The sixties was also the era of my personal love story - when my wife and I met, got to know one another, fell in love and married. It is still working to years later. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"Dick and Doris Goodwin were married for forty-two years and married to American history even longer. In his twenties, Dick was one of the brilliant young men of John F. Kennedy's New Frontier. In his thirties he both named and helped design Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and was a speechwriter and close advisor to Robert Kennedy. Doris Kearns was a twenty-four-year-old graduate student when selected as a White House Fellow. She worked directly for Lyndon Johnson and later assisted on his memoir. ... The Goodwins' last great adventure involved finally opening the more than three hundred boxes of letters, diaries, documents, and memorabilia that Dick had saved for more than fifty years. They soon realized they had before them an unparalleled personal time capsule of the 1960s, illuminating public and private moments of a decade when individuals were powered by the conviction they could make a difference; a time, like today, marked by struggles for racial and economic justice, a time when lines were drawn and loyalties tested"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
