Awesome book. I loved this one and can't wait to continue in book 2 (which I have actually already started). It's an excellent story. It took me about 90-100 pages to get into into but once I was there was no stopping me. Thanks Dave!

Review to follow. Way too tired to write one now, other than saying I loved the book.

I was interested in Katharine Graham's memoir because of her unique place in history as the respected owner, president, and chairman of The Washington Post during a time when few women held such positions of responsibility (well, and the book also won the Pulitzer Prize). Little did I know that because of her well-connected parents, her life story would read like a "Who's Who" for the 20th century from the opening chapter. But that's not what makes this a singular story – Graham's basic sense of fairness, genuine concern for others, and high standards and integrity in both her personal and professional lives radiate from every page. And she doesn't shy away from relating difficult - a few tragic - events in her life: A clear eye and frank analysis are applied to every up and down, but always in very proper manner. You won't find rumor or innuendo in this book (I had to go to Wikipedia for that). Graham's writing style is also, of course, the epitome of correctness, with a smooth and effortless feel. Though the book is fairly long, I couldn't put it down through the most crucial periods in her life – a good sign of a compelling life well-told.

There wasn't too much advice that the book gave that I didn't already know. That being said, if I had read this book before starting college I probably could have saved myself the "school of hard knocks" type of experiences when it came to relationships. But, you live and you learn. I would definitely recommend this book girls in high school and those who are starting college as part of their "required" reading.

به نظر من ترجمه نجف دریابندری از این کتاب، خودش یه کتاب جداگانه است و درنوع خودش شاهکاری.

There are history books written by historians, and there are history books written by journalists. Martin Meredith is first and foremost a journalist, and this book focuses on telling stories and bringing the expansive personalities of African big men to the fore. Yet Meredith doesn't skimp on the statistics and the "hard facts," although I do wish he had a few more citations. And many of the standard criticisms of history can be leveled against this work: it tells the story of the elite, and covers less on the commoners; hardly any women are mentioned. It is the story of African political leadership and conflict, though, and in that, this work excels. If you want a complete understanding of how Africa came to be so poor and so prone to violence, this book is indispensable. Meredith doesn't dwell on colonialism, and hardly mentions the slave trade. It doesn't try to pin all of Africa's woes on nefarious westerners, a tropical climate, or any other factory beyond its control. It certainly does not let European and American leaders off the hook, but they play supporting roles, complicit in the massacres and economic disasters rather than instigating them. So The Fate of Africa may offend some who want to see Africans as victims. The stories that come out of this book are the stories, mostly, of brilliant but brutal men, charismatic leaders who emerge from chaos (first at independence, but then later in the wake of coup after coup) and use all means at their disposal to exert their will. He tears apart heroes like Nkrumah, Nyerere, Senghor, and Houphouët-Boigny, exposing their follies and their autocratic tendencies. He recalls, in detail, so many ugly and horrific occurrences that by halfway through you'll find yourself saying, "Well, only 20,000 died. That's not so bad." And the story you'll find is that African leaders have, since independence, been primarily responsible for the suffering of this continent. Which is true. One final note: this book complements John Reader's book Africa: biography of a continent extraordinarily well. Reader's 700 page masterpiece tells how African cultures developed from the first man to modern times, and highlights all the ways that African cultures have been victimized and misunderstood by the West. Meredith picks up where Reader left off, taking another 700 pages to explain how, for the last 50 years, African leaders have failed their peoples.
I love nothing more than memoirs about miserable childhoods, but this girl is just a whiny, entitled, self-centered biyotch. Her problems and drama were of her own making. Avoid at all costs.
Exhausting... this is literally everything you need to know about the Pythons, from (literally) birth to the present day, all from their own mouths. Only drawback is the really small text. It's understandable given the length of the book, but when they lay it over an image it gets lost.
