Personal History

Ginger says: If you’ve seen the excellent political thriller The Post, the story of The Washington Post’s publication of the classified Pentagon Papers, you might have wanted to learn more about the powerhouse woman behind Meryl Streep’s character. I immediately dashed out and bought this memoir. This would be an excellent nonfiction counterpoint to Heartburn, since Graham presided over the Washington Post as it broke the famous Watergate scandal, which made Carl Bernstein famous. (It’s a small, big town.)
