Stone's Weekly, one of the leading publications of the turbulent 1960s, and in 18 years at The Washington Post, he covered the war in Vietnam and Cambodia, the Soviet Union at the height of Kremlin power, Washington D.C. as National Editor, "Swinging London" in the 60s, and Thatcher's Britain in the 1980s.At Random House and the company he founded, PublicAffairs, he was responsible for books by four presidents: Carter, Clinton, Obama and Trump; celebrated Washington figures including Robert McNamara, House Speaker Tip O'Neill, and Vernon Jordan, first ladies Rosalynn Carter and Nancy Reagan, the billionaire George Soros, basketball superstars Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Magic Johnson, legendary spies, political dissidents, and writers Molly Ivins and Peggy Noonan, among many others.In this unusually wide-ranging memoir, Osnos uses a reporter's skills to portray historic events and encounters beginning with his parents' extraordinary World War II experiences escaping Europe to India, where he was born, to the present day. He shares unique portraits of the famous people with whom he worked and an insider's perspective of the news and publishing businesses.
