A Good Life

History comes alive as longtime WASHINGTON POST editor Ben Bradlee recalls his life as a journalist and eyewitness to the major events of the last half of the twentieth century. Bradlee reads his own words with a slow, measured pace. His voice has a throaty, gravelly quality with an almost sing-song cadence. But his distinctive delivery is well suited to this audio presentation full of personal reminiscences and historical revelations. Hearing about the Kennedy years and the investigation of Watergate from one who was there makes for great listening pleasure and fascinating entertainment. A.A.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
