Download Schlesinger: The Imperial Historian AudioBook Free
Arthur Schlesinger Jr. (1917-2007), known today as the architect of John F. Kennedy's presidential legacy - and the myth of Camelot - blazed a fantastic path from Harvard University or college to wartime London to the Western world Wing. The kid of your pioneering historian - and a two-time Pulitzer Reward and National Publication Award winner in his own right - Schlesinger redefined the fine art of presidential biography. A Thousand Days and nights, his best-selling record of the Kennedy supervision, remains immensely influential and has cemented Schlesinger's place among the nation's greatest political image makers. In such a vivid account of Schlesinger's life and job, biographer Richard Aldous pulls on oral background, hardly ever seen archival documents, and the official Schlesinger papers to craft a great portrait of a brilliant and controversial historian who framed America's rise to global empire. Schlesinger pledges to enhance our understanding of one of the key results of the 20th-century American intellectual elite.
