Description

Blending memoir, biography, and history, this deeply personal account follows Doris Kearns Goodwin and her husband, Richard “Dick” Goodwin, as they revisit the people, ideals, and upheavals that defined the 1960s. As they open decades of letters, diaries, and other archival treasures, they illuminate the inner lives and public legacies of figures including John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. Their journey explores political conviction, racial and economic justice, marriage, memory, grief, and the enduring tension between America’s promises and its unfinished work. Warm, candid, and richly detailed, the book offers both an intimate portrait of a partnership and a compelling reflection on how the past continues to shape the nation’s future.
