Truth Worth Telling

A Reporter's Search for Meaning in the Stories of Our Times

About this book

This inspiring memoir of life on the frontlines of history is a "riveting blend of investigative reporting, color commentary, and personal reminiscence" ( Publishers Weekly, starred review).
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, Truth Worth Telling offers a collection of inspiring tales that reminds us of the importance of sticking to our 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."
