Readable. Interesting twists.

In keeping with a wacky self imposed rule, (you have to read what's relevant to where you are visiting), I took this book on a three week trip to Paris over the Christmas holidays. In doing so, the trip was amazing! The landmarks, the miniature portraits in the museums, the buildings. Everything was transformed back to that time and it became a living history. I would recommend that everyone try this "self imposed" rule. It's life altering! : )

It will probably take me another week or two to finish this book; it is a very slow read for me, rich in detail that I don't want to skim over. White was a journalist in the best sense of the word and a specialist in both American politics (he wrote The Making of the President four times covering elections in 1960, 1964, 1968 and 1972) and Asia. In Search of History is autobiographical and is fascinating.His contact with world leaders, his approach to history in the making, and then his later looking back at events that were chaotic at the time of his original reports, but that later fit a pattern that he could sense, but not fully understand at the time, make this history at its best. Having lived through most of the history White is writing about makes this book all the more interesting to me.
