Recenzje

This is two brilliant biographies in one -- of the shrewdest, most swashbuckling journalists of the mid-Twentieth Century, and of the era and nation that spawned him. It's a must-read for anyone who cares about the Fourth Estate, about American democracy, and about history made readable and relevant.
