Description
Doris Kearns Goodwin's latest book is a deeply personal and insightful exploration of the 1960s. Drawing on her own life experiences as well as historical records, she weaves together biography, memoir, and history to create a unique narrative. The author recounts her marriage to Richard Goodwin, a man who was at the forefront of American politics in the mid-20th century, including his work with John F. Kennedy's New Frontier and Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. As they navigated their own relationship, Dick and Doris had lively debates about the leaders they served and observed, reflecting on the progress and unfinished promises of the country. Through her husband's letters, diaries, documents, and memorabilia, Goodwin has uncovered a remarkable personal time capsule of the 1960s. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into a decade marked by struggles for racial and economic justice, as well as moments of hope and conviction that continue to resonate today.
