An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960's, by Doris Kearns Goodwin

Doris Kearns Goodwin is a Pulitzer Prize winning author and historian known for her biographies of many US presidents. A recent book, Lincoln, was one of last year's book club's selection. She has now joined with her husband, Dick, to write about their public and private moments of their lives in the 1960's. They were very active in politics, working for both John and Robert Kennedy as well as Lyndon Johnson. In reviewing all their memorbilia of that time, they realized they had personal time capsule of the 1960's, a decade when individuals were powered by the conviction they could make a difference.
