An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s

very practising, effective and useful as well as have a very great analysis.

This reminds me of a divine gift I experienced some 70 years ago. You are a unique gift of love that is intrinsic to all of existence for all of eternity. Just as every other soul is and no-one can replace you. Created from and is a part of an absolute 100% generic love that has always been. Your willingness to receive determines what you experience, because love loves to be loved. Love’s awareness is like experiencing infinity. Then doing the right thing through love binds because of its magnetic power without capturing and supports because it is an infinite constant without limiting. A choice.

A beautifully told story of a turbulent period of US politics. Also a love story over several decades. Makes sense of complexity with enlivened yet easily understandable prose.

A história eh boa

As usual with Doris Kern Godwin's histories this book is more than just a history of the Kennedys and President Johnson and the fight for civil rights. With the background of the sixties Ms Godwin also gives us a detailed picture of her husband and herself in those exciting times, working in the White House, writing famous speeches for the presidents (her husband), sharing President Johnson's memories near the end of his life (herself) and the many devoted Americans who believed in the changing times and the end of racism. It is also the story of Godwin's life with her husband and their shared interests and love of America. Written after the death of her husband, the book is a tribute to him and to his political fights.

There can be few couples who have witnessed as much history as Richard Goodwin and Doris Kearns Goodwin. Their names are writ large through every chronicle of American history from the 1960s through the 1970s. They saw and helped create the New Frontier and Great Society programs, working side by side with Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Richard wrote speeches for JFK, LBJ, Eugene McCarthy, and RFK during the 1960, 1964, and 1968 campaigns and was an indispensable aide throughout. Doris was a White House Fellow who became one of LBJ's most important aides in the final year of his Administration and during his post-Presidency. The extraordinary historical events the Goodwins witnessed both before and during their marriage would make this book an important read, but this is also the story of the Goodwins' long time friendship and marriage, told primarily through Doris' eyes as she helped Richard sort through his mammoth collection of papers during the final years of his life. As a result this book is an unputdownable read that I was sorry to finish. Doris Kearns Goodwin is one of the finest historians at work today. Her books Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream, The Bully Pulpit, Team of Rivals, No Ordinary Time (to name only a few) are all wonderful reads, brilliantly written with impeccable scholarship. An Unfinished Love Story definitely deserves a place in every library beside her other works.
