William Sloane Coffin, Jr.: A Holy Impatience par Warren Goldstein
"This is an elegantly written biography, a portrait of a complex man negotiating complex times, written by a scholar equal to the task. In many ways this is the best way to see post-World War II America -- from the inside out -- through the eyes of a flawed humanitarian and restless searcher." Ken Burns from book jacket.
Excellent biography which pulls no punches. Bill Coffin had a positive influence on a lot of people (including me), but he was not without his flaws. While the world seems a different place in so many ways than in Coffin's heyday (60s and 70s)--who, in an age of social media, cares about preachers anymore?--there are broader issues worth examining here, from the public to the personal. Public: is Coffin's message of social justice any less relevant now when the economic chasm between rich and poor has only yawned wider? Personal: can anyone become a great leader without great cost to his personal relationships with others?… (plus d'informations)
Being an important step forward in my understanding of the early days of the game. It is written in an academic style, but, for the aficianado, the intrinsic interest of the subject propels it forward nicely.
Another classic for which I have the dissertation.
