Truth worth telling : a reporter's search for meaning in the stories of our times / Scott Pelley.
An inspiring memoir from the frontlines of history by the award-winning 60 Minutes correspondent. 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.
