Graham, Katharine Personal History
Alfred A. Knopf Inc 1997 0394585852 / 9780394585857 First Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Near-Fine
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Price inside dustcover: $29.95 - 642 pages - Stated First Edition - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine, clean pages. An extraordinarily frank, honest, and generous book by one of America's most famous and admired women -- a book that is, as its title suggests, both personal and history. It is the story of Graham's parents: the multi-millionaire father who left private business and government service to buy and restore the down-and-out Washington Post; the aggressive, formidable, self-absorbed mother, known in her time for her political and welfare work, and her passionate friendships with men such as Thomas Mann and Adlai Stevenson. It is the story of how The Washington Post struggled to succeed -- a fascinating and instructive business history told from the inside (the paper has been run by Graham herself, her father, her husband, and now her son). It is the story of Phil Graham -- Kay's brilliant, charismatic husband (he clerked for two Supreme Court justices), whose plunge into manic-depression and eventual suicide are movingly and charitably recounted. And, best of all, it is Kay Graham herself -- brought up in great wealth, yet understanding nothing of money; half Jewish, yet -- incredibly -- unaware of it; naive, awkward, yet intelligent and energetic, and married to a man she adored. How he fascinated and educated her, and then in his illness turned from her and abused her, destroying her confidence and her happiness, is a drama in itself, followed by the rarer drama of her new life as the head of a great newspaper and a great company -- a woman famous (and feared) in her own right. In other words, here is a life that came into its own with a vengeance -- a success story on every level.

Greenfield, Meg; Graham, Katharine (Foreword); Beschloss, Michael (Afterword) Washington
New York, New York, U.S.A. Public Affairs 2001 1586480278 / 9781586480271 Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or dustcover clippings. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine, bright pages. Dustcover shows slight wear and 1 tiny, closed tear. 242 pages. Synopsis A national bestseller and a timeless classic on the ways and mores of our nation's capitol New York Times Book Review - Adam Clymer What Greenfield has left us...is something very different from a traditional memoir. It's a new way of looking at a flawed Washington, one that is scathing in import if not in tone, a useful framework even to those who think of government people as more real, more human and even more truthful than she does. Biography Meg Greenfield, who died in 1999, was a recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for commentary. Presidential historian Michael Beschloss acts as the literary executor of Miss Greenfield's estate. Katharine Graham, who passed away in 2001, was Miss Greenfield's close friend and longtime employer.
