“[Jack Valenti] lived his life as a gentleman andpatriot....He might have been the last of the breed.” —New YorkTimes
An Influential and Varied Life

Aside from LBJ, there were Jack andBobby Kennedy, Kirk Douglas, Frank Sinatra, Robert McNamara,Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Julia Roberts, Cary Grant, LewWasserman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas,Warren Beatty, and Bill Clinton, to begin a very long list. ThisTime, This Place is a candid, unforgettable memoir of the life ofan extraordinary key political player and Hollywood rainmaker. Itis also a sweeping and important historical record, written by abrilliantly successful man who helped shape politics andentertainment in the second half of the twentieth century, and whoalways found himself at the center of any storm.
“A wonderful story.” —International Herald Tribune
“[Valenti] offers a rousing account of his WWII bombingmissions, JFK’s assassination (he was in the motorcade), and histhree-year stint as one of LBJ’s closest aides.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Only the silver screen can really do justice to a man who isbigger than life, moved easily among the stars of politics andHollywood, and always kept his feet on the ground. AnOscar-deserving lifetime achievement, if ever there was one.”
—Bill Moyers
