Historical, lovely love story about a couple of extraordinary people and their lives in the 1960’s and all the people they met and worked with such as Lynden Johnson, John and Robert Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy and others

What a writer Doris Kearns is! She brought one of the most important periods in our history back to life, let me relive it, and appreciate it up close and personally. Also felt grateful to “meet” wonderful individuals thru her book, including the writer and her husband.

Excellent! Amazing to read how they lived through so much history!

I met Doris Kearns Goodwin at the Civil War Roundtable dinner after her publication of Team of Rivals, and have been captivated by her writing ever since. This book about her glorious relationship with Richard Goodwin is magnificent. They personify one aspect of what makes America great. The notion that we can make the world a greater place by uniting good thoughts with good deeds, kindness and tolerance.

The boxes contained central pieces to familiar events making it all so less abstract. The story was from the inside and this is something like I have never before experienced. You feel the history not just read it. This lady can write.

I am a child of the 50’s and 60’s and a little younger than the author. I was fascinated with politics and have a passion for baseball (Pirates). This book brought back many memories of my childhood. The TV scandal of the 50’s, JFK, Bay of Pigs, LBJ, (I was a VISTA volunteer), Johnson’s decision not to run, the 68 convention and Eugene McCarthy. Also the Brooklyn Bums who decided to move to the west coast. Her writing brought these events back to me and I thank her for this. A good read and I do not say that very often. Dr. Warren Galbreath

And a compelling retelling of history that was my life!

Exceptionally written, a wonderful reminisce of an explosive time.

What can I say? This is a marvelous book.

Important for current times
