Drawing on a lifetime of access to many of the greatest
public figures, Galbraith creates a rich and uniquely
personal history of the century - a history he helped to
shape. We are invited to hear FDR on the Great Depression
and World War II, Albert Speer, the Third Reich's architect
and armaments minister, on the boorishness and incompetence
of the Nazi leadership; John F. Kennedy, from youth to the
presidency; Jacqueline Kennedy's shrewd judgments of the
White House inner circle. In this clear-eyed, unsparing, and
amusing look back at the world and the people he has known,
Galbraith tells what these leaders did - how they looked to
him then and how they look to him now - with unforgettable
reminiscences and a rich infusion of engaging anecdotes.
