In Search Of History Part 2 Of 2

by Theodore H. White

Part Two Of Two Parts Theodore White's autobiography is the story of a man who literally covered the world, who understood that world and wrote about it brilliantly. IN SEARCH OF HISTORY is a marvelous rags-to-riches autobiography, thoughtful, dramatic and funny, filled with perceptive details about events and personalities. In White's parade of men and events, we meet Douglas MacArthur, both as outcast and conqueror; listen to a troubled Eisenhower preparing to lay aside his uniform and plunge into politics; visit Mao Tse-tung in his cave in Hunan; and trace the power-curve of America's greatness across the glory years at home and abroad.
