This Time, This Place: My Time in War, the Whitehouse and Hollywood Book

â??[Jack Valenti] lived his life as a gentleman and patriot....He might have been the last of the breed.â? â??New York TimesAn Influential and Varied LifeThe list of notable namesâ??people that Jack Valenti knew and with whom he workedâ??is astonishing. Aside from LBJ, there were Jack and Bobby Kennedy, Kirk Douglas, Frank Sinatra, Robert McNamara, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Julia Roberts, Cary Grant, Lew Wasserman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas, Warren Beatty, and Bill Clinton, to begin a very long list. This Time, This Place is a candid, unforgettable memoir of the life of an extraordinary key political player and Hollywood rainmaker. It is also a sweeping and important historical record, written by a brilliantly successful man who helped shape politics and entertainment in the second half of the twentieth century, and who always found himself at the center of any storm. â??A wonderful story.â? â??International Herald Tribuneâ??[Valenti] offers a rousing account of his WWII bombing missions, JFKâ??s assassination (he was in the motorcade), and his three-year stint as one of LBJâ??s closest aides.â? â??Entertainment Weeklyâ??Only the silver screen can really do justice to a man who is bigger than life, moved easily among the stars of politics and Hollywood, and always kept his feet on the ground. An Oscar-deserving lifetime achievement, if ever there was one.â? â??Bill MoyersRead More
