Description

The journalist Walter Lippmann (1889-1974) was a magisterial figure who relished his role as an insider, an adviser to presidents, a shaper & sometime purveyor of government policy. Drawing on conversations with Lippmann & exclusive access to his private papers, Ronald Steel documents the broad flow of Lippmann's career from his brilliant Harvard days & his role in helping formulate Wilson's Fourteen Points in World War I to his bitter break with Lyndon Johnson over Vietnam. Written with clarity & objectivity, this definitive biography presents a commanding portrait of a complicated man & "guides its reader through the first three-quarters of this American century"--The New Yorker.
