"A thoroughly fun read. A look back at a different time and world. Are their people of Galbraith's ilk still out there? He was such a fixture and such a towering figure for so long. This collection captures intriguing impressions from a life of service at the highest levels. For those with an interest in left of center power politics from the 40s through the 60s this book is a must read."
