Description
The Evening Star is the first comprehensive history of the most financially successful daily newspaper in the nation’s capital until the 1970s. The book unravels the rise and fall of a once-great evening newspaper and the famous and quirky people who passed through its noisy, untidy newsroom to report a century of history.
Advance Praise
"Faye Haskins has done it. She has taken us back in time to a past of glory and, yes, gore, to good times and bad, the bitter and the sweet. The life and death of an institution like the Washington Evening Star is painful enough to live through; to believe that a great paper's and a great city's fates were intertwined. Reading that history leaves one with the realization that a dying publication was not indicative of a dying city. Faye's recapitulation forces one to wish the Evening Star's fate had mirrored that of Washington. And that is a painful reminder for all of us exes who were so Star Struck." — Paul Delaney, Former New York Times National Editor
