Summary:
The "CBS Evening News" anchor and "60 Minutes" correspondent presents a memoir from the frontlines of international journalism that includes firsthand insights into major historical events and world leaders.
"Don't ask the
meaning
of life. Life is asking, what'
s
the
meaning
of you? With this provocative question, Truth Worth Telling introduces us to unforgettable people who discovered the
meaning
of their lives in the historic events of
our
times
. A 60 Minutes correspondent and former anchor of the CBS Evening News, Scott Pelley writes as a witness to events that changed
our
world. In moving, detailed prose, he stands with firefighters at the collapsing World Trade Center on 9/11, advances with American troops in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, and reveals private moments with presidents (and would-be presidents) he'
s
known for decades. Pelley also offers a resounding defense of free speech and a free press as the rights that guarantee all others. Above all, [this book] offers a collection of inspiring tales that reminds us of the importance of values in uncertain
times
. For readers who believe that values matter and that truth is worth telling, Pelley writes, 'I have written this book for you.'"--Dust jacket.
