A captivating memoir from the incomparable Garry Wills, ""one of

the country's most distinguished intellectuals"" (The New York Times

Book Review)Illuminating and provocative, Outside Looking In is a

compelling chronicle of an original thinker at work in remarkable

times. With his dazzling style and journalist's eye for detail, Garry Wills brings history to life. Whether writing about the civil rights

movement, 1960s protests, or close-up studies of the people who have

shaped our world, only he could bring together in one book Barry Goldwater, Daniel Berrigan, Beverly Sills, Richard Nixon, and John Waters. Wills shares, as only the best raconteurs can, stories of

the fascinating people he has closely observed during more than fifty

years of reporting.
