[Signed] Graham, Katharine. Personal History. Sixth Printing. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition. It is signed “Katharine Graham” on the title page.
Katharine Graham burst into the social stratosphere as the guest of honor at the grandest party of the 20th Century, Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball. However, that event is merely a set piece in this lengthy and worthwhile autobiography in which Graham recalls her extraordinary life, which was transformed by a tragedy—her husband’s suicide. She took the helm of the family newspaper, The Washington Post, and exhibited tremendous courage, breaking open the Watergate scandal and publishing the Pentagon Papers. She recounts it all here, as well as commenting upon a dazzling array of friendships that ran the gamut from Republican icon Nancy Reagan to Communist firebrand Jessica Mitford.
"To love what you do and feel that it matters—how could anything be more fun?"
--Katharine Graham
