A Good Life: Newspapering and Other Adventures

Insider's journey through transformative journalism era.

If you're intrigued by the power of the press and its pivotal role in history, "A Good Life" by Ben Bradlee is a no-brainer for your reading list. As editor of The Washington Post, Bradlee was at the vanguard of some of the most seismic journalistic moments—including Watergate. His memoir will give you a front-row seat to the evolution of modern journalism, told with the sharp wit and insight that can only come from someone who lived through it all.
