The Autobiography of Lincoln Steffens, Vol 1

Lincoln Steffens

0/5 ( ratings)

Rediscover a man Americans turned to not only for news but for humor and wisdom as well. Growing up in Sacramento, Steffens was an editor at the New York Evening Post, and later at McClure's Magazine. As popular as he was cantankerous, he brushed shoulders with presidents and corporate barons, tsars and dictators. His efforts to expose corruption took him all over the nation and on to Mexico, Europe, and the new Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, where he made his famous proclamation, "I have seen the future, and it works!" He would later become disenchanted with communism, and eventually he returned to California, to feel again its "warm, colorful force of beauty" and to write what would become this best-selling memori. Inspiring, entertaining, and lyrical, The Autobiography of Lincoln Steffens is the story of a brilliant reporter with a passion for examining the complex and contradictory conditions that breed corruption, poverty, and misery.
