Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., a two-time victor of the Pulitzer Prize, is one of the finest historians of the age. A former special assistant to Chief executive Kennedy, he received the National Humanities Medal in 1998. In this first level of memoirs, Schlesinger changes a keen vision on his own exceptional life - from his Midwestern upbringing, through his days and nights at Harvard, to his engagement with World War II. The engrossing tale of his life reads such as a timeline of the 20th hundred years. With anecdotes boasting the major politicians, intellectuals, and entertainers of the time, it is not hard to see why Dr. Henry Kissinger called this work "one of the definitive histories of the period." Schlesinger's shrewd observations and pointed wit have long helped People in america understand who they are and where they've result from. Now his own tale comes to life with a lucid, often funny narration by Nelson Runger.
