An interesting look at Life Magazine in an account that is part history and part personal memoir. Wainwright is clearly too close to his subject to craft an objective account, but there's still an awful lot of material who are interested in either _Life_ itself or in the history of magazines in general.
Much fascinating stuff, such as the Clifford Irving hoax, the exclusive _Life_ coverage of the astronauts, and the JFK assassination.
