 wfzimmerman's review: "Found this gem used at the Book Stop in Petoskey, Michigan, where I paid lower than the lowest price on Amazon.com.
Incredibly beautiful color interior from the folks at Dorling Kindersley, who make better-looking books than just about anyone."DK ADULT (2008), Hardcover, 360 pages
Incredibly beautiful color interior from the folks at Dorling Kindersley, who make better-looking books than just about anyone.” 
It is a deeper, more insightful, and sadder book than I remembered. White had several different fascinating lives, including ten years as a China hand, ten for Henry Luce’s TIME, and another twenty as the famous author the MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT series. He wrote this book from a sense of profound disillusionment with American politics, which may be part of the reason that the book is written in an unusual style with mostly first person interrupted periodically with stilted yet touching third-person views of himself. My current copy is very aged so I probably will not keep it, but keep an eye out for a high quality first of this or any of his earlier books, including the China and Europe books.”

wfzimmerman’s review: “Earlier this year I published MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT 2008 by political reporter Mark Curtis. The design for that book was a conscious homage to White’s immensely successful MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT series. So I was thrilled by come across this book, White’s autobiography and summation, at a recent garage sale.

wfzimmerman’s review: “I don’t think I had ever read this book until the recent Tor reissue. It is perhaps the best of all the Galactic Empire novels before the Foundation series, almost entirely because of the profoundly moving conclusion where Asimov thinks brilliantly and wisely about what the greatest good of the greatest number means in a galaxy with one quadrillion people.
