In Search of History: A Personal Adventure

This is a book about the people who, making history, have changed your life- and a great correspondent who listened to their stories for forty years. Now he has woven all those stories into this splendid tale of his own. In White'e parade of men and events, you meet Douglas MacArthur, both as outcast and conquerer; you listen to a troubled Eisenhower preparing to lay aside his uniform and plunge into politics; you hear Jacqueline Kennedy relive her moment of horror in Dallas and give an era the title 'Camelot'; you visits Mao Tse-tung in his cave in Yenan; and trace the power curve of America's greatness across the glory years at home and abroad.
