"[A] charming memoir [that] serves to remind us that idealism and trust once existed in the White House and Washington, a fact that may seem unbelievable" (
Newsday).
A New York Times Notable Book
"Names? You want names? No one knows better ones than John Kenneth Galbraith," says the
San Diego Union-Tribune.
Name-Dropping covers the long and remarkable career of this economist and former ambassador, charting sixty-five years of politics, government, and American history as he writes of the many people he has known-among them Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F.Kennedy, Adlai Stevenson, and Jawaharlal Nehru-"with a wit, style, and elegance few can match" (
Library Journal).
This "mischievously and merrily unrepentant" memoir offers a rich and uniquely personal history of the twentieth century-a history the author himself helped to shape (
The Boston Globe).
"Shrewd, irreverent, penetrating, and hilarious." -Arthur M.Schlesinger Jr.
"It is not usual for a man past his 90th birthday to write a book that is as fresh and lively as the work of a 30-year-old. But John Kenneth Galbraith is not a usual man, and he has done it." -
The New York Times
