Why read it?

2 authors picked An Unfinished Love Story as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is just the best combination of personal narrative with important history, history I lived through myself. Getting to know both the author--Doris Kearns Goodwin--and her late husband--Dick Goodwin--and each of their extraordinary political experiences during the 1960s was great, and I learned much about the 1960s--that I lived through--that I never knew. Great!

This book by Doris Kearns Goodwin weaves together three stories: A history of the turbulent 1960s, a biography of the author's husband speechwriter Dick Goodwin, and an autobiography of Doris Kearns Goodwin and her work with President Lyndon Johnson. I didn't realize quite how important a role Dick Goodwin played in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. The book is history at its best. And its also a love story. Its the perfect book for Baby Boomers like me.
