A new book about Walter Cronkite is now available from your favorite bookseller:
Douglas Brinkley presents the definitive, revealing biography of an American
legend: renowned news anchor Walter Cronkite. An acclaimed author and historian,
Brinkley has drawn upon recently disclosed letters, diaries, and other artifacts
at the recently opened Cronkite Archive to bring detail and depth to this deeply
personal portrait. He also interviewed nearly two hundred of Cronkite's closest
friends and colleagues, including Andy Rooney, Leslie Stahl, Barbara Walters,
Dan Rather, Brian Williams, Les Moonves, Christiane Amanpour, Katie Couric, Bob
Schieffer, Ted Turner, Jimmy Buffett, and Morley Safer, using their voices to
instill dignity and humanity in this study of one of America's most beloved and
trusted public figures.
