Schlesinger Jr. (1917-2007), known today as the architect of John F. Kennedy's presidential legacy, blazed an extraordinary path from Harvard University to wartime London to the West Wing. The son of a pioneering historian--and a two-time Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner in his own right--Schlesinger redefined the art of presidential biography. \u003cem\u003eA Thousand Days\u003c\/em\u003e, his best-selling and immensely influential record of the Kennedy administration, cemented Schlesinger's place as one of the nation's greatest political image makers and a key figure of the American intellectual elite--a peer and contemporary of Reinhold Niebuhr, Isaiah Berlin, and Adlai Stevenson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first major biography of this defining figure in Kennedy's Camelot, \u003cem\u003eSchlesinger: The Imperial Historian\u003c\/em\u003e presents a dramatic life and career set against the backdrop of the American Century. Biographer Richard Aldous draws on oral history, rarely seen archival documents, and the official Schlesinger papers to craft a portrait of the incandescently brilliant and controversial historian who framed America's ascent to global empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Aldous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393244709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393244700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
