You can feel the tightness of NEW.About the book: "In the spring of 1984, I went to the northwest of France, to Normandy, to prepare an NBC documentary on the fortieth anniversary of D-Day, the massive and daring Allied invasion of Europe that marked the beginning of the end of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. There, I underwent a life-changing experience. As I walked the beaches with the American veterans who had returned for this anniversary, men in their sixties and seventies, and listened to their stories, I was deeply moved and profoundly grateful for all they had done. Ten years later, I returned to Normandy for the fiftieth anniversary of the invasion, and by then I had come to understand what this generation of Americans meant to history. It is, I believe, the greatest generation any society has ever produced."

Yet of this important work we learn little; we are instead treated to truisms like, "A newspaper is not referred to as `the daily miracle' for nothing.'' Bradlee is candid about having been scooped by the New York Times on the Pentagon papers and the role that scooping had on the Post's devotion to Watergate: "We found ourselves in the humiliating position of having to rewrite the competition.'' But his other remarks on coverage of Watergate affair, in which his coordination was… Leer más

Kirkus Review: The author's penchant for the absurd (How to Murder the Man of Your Dreams, 1995, etc.) reaches full flower in this off-the-wall take on English aristocracy. Its focus is Gossinger Hall, dating from the 12th-century, where Sir Henry Gossinger, plebeian-born wife Mabel, and permanent houseguest cousin Sophie Doffit are in residence, along with a staff headed by aristocratic butler Hutchins, whose gentle care is lavished on the silver collection—a center of attention for tourists and tour buses—and on his orphaned 18-year-old granddaughter Flora, his charge from age three. Outside chores are handled by odd-job man Mr. Tipp, whose forebears, like Hutchins's, go back generations at the Hall. Heir to it all is Sir Henry's nephew, 30ish Vivian—that is, he's heir until the day Sir Henry, seemingly intent on righting an old wrong, announces he's… Leer más
