Katharine Graham's Washington: A Huge, Rich Gathering of Articles, Memoirs, Humor, and History, Chosen by Mrs. Graham, That Brings to Life Her Beloved City

As a fitting epilogue to a life intimately linked to Washington, D.C., Pulitzer Prize winner Katharine Graham, the woman who transformed The Washington Post into a paper of record, left behind this lovingly collected anthology of writings about the city she knew and loved, a moving tribute to the nationâ€™s capital.

To Russell Banks, it is a place where â€œno one is in charge and no one, therefore, can be held responsible for the mess.â€ To John Dos Passos, it is â€œessentially a town of lonely people.â€ Whatever your impressions of Washington, D.C., you will likely find them challenged here. Experience Christmas with the Roosevelts, as seen through the eyes of a White House housekeeper. Learn why David McCullough is happy to declare â€œI love Washington,â€ while The Washington Postâ€™s Sally Quinn wonders, â€œWhy Do They Hate Washington?â€ Glimpse David Brinkleyâ€™s depiction of the capital during World War II, then experience Henry Kissingerâ€™s thoughts on â€œPeace at Last,â€ post-Vietnam. Written by a whoâ€™s who of journalists, historians, First Ladies, politicians, and more, these varied works offer a wonderful overview of Katharine Grahamâ€™s beloved city.
