Did not much enjoy his retelling of his Jewish childhood and teens, although extraordinary how his mother's courage and persistence got them out of an incredibly precarious situation in Hitler's Third Reich, just one step from the concentration camps. The real meat of the book comes as he joins the staff of the Times. Although there is a tone of self justification common to many autobiographies, it does not really detract from the compelling story telling possible from the point of view of someone so close to such a lot of the major stories in the U.S., in Moscow and around the world from the 60's to the 90's. Recommended. ( ) 3973. The Times of My Life and My Life with the Times, by Max Frankel (read 11 Jan 2005) This 1999 book by the executive editor of the New York Times from 1986 to 1994 covers his life from the time he got his first job with his first and only employer. His account of his and his mother's escape from Germany in 1939 is highly dramatic and is well-told. He covered many of the big events from the 1950s till 1994 and it is exciting history as he tells of them. I thought this was as good a book as Katherine Graham's prize-winning account of her years with the Washington Post which I read 22 Aug 1997. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"In this memoir, The New York Times's Max Frankel tells his life story the way he lived it - in tandem with the big news stories of our time." "Max Frankel started to write for The New York Times as a student at Columbia in 1949, and during the next half century he held just about every important position on the paper - foreign correspondent, Washington bureau chief, editorials editor, and executive editor." "When The Times of My Life begins, Max Frankel is a boy in Nazi Germany; we experience the terror of his wartime escape with his heroic mother, their immigrant lives in New York, and a teacher's inspired decision that he could belatedly learn to read English if he learned to write it. And so Max Frankel found his career. His book, like his life, moves through Hitler's Berlin, Khrushchev's Moscow, Castro's Havana, and the Washington of Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon. It reevaluates the Cold War and interweaves Frankel's personal and professional lives with the era's greatest stories, from Sputnik to the Pentagon Papers, from the building of the Berlin Wall to its collapse, all the while tracking the tensions of managing the world's greatest newspaper."--Jacket.
