520    "This is the witty, candid story of a daring young man who
       made his own way to the heights of American journalism and
       public life, of the great adventure that took him at only 
       twenty years old straight from Harvard to almost four 
       years in the shooting war in the South Pacific, and back, 
       from a maverick New Hampshire weekly to an apprenticeship 
       for Newsweek in postwar Paris, then to the Washington 
       Bureau chief's desk, and finally to the apex of his career
       at The Washington Post." "Bradlee took the helm of The 
       Washington Post in 1965. He and his reporters transformed 
       it into one of the most influential and respected news 
       publications in the world, reinvented modern investigative
       journalism, and redefined the way news is reported, 
       published, and read. Under his direction, the paper won 
       eighteen Pulitzer prizes. His leadership and investigative
       drive following the break-in at the Democratic National 
       Committee led to the downfall of a president, and kept 
       every president afterward on his toes." "Bradlee, backed 
       every step of the way by the Graham family, challenged the
       federal government over the right to publish the Pentagon 
       Papers - and won. His ingenuity, and the spirited 
       reporting of Sally Quinn, now his wife, led to the 
       creation of the Style Section, a revolutionary newspaper 
       feature in its time, now copied by just about every paper 
       in the country."--Jacket.
