Review :
"Brinkley offers plenty of details about the newsman's life and times, and Guidall renders them as if he were conversing with the listener, not simply reading a book...[in an] easy-on-the-ears voice. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award." -- "AudioFile" "Magically transports the reader to a bygone era." -- "Boston Globe" "This richly detailed and impeccably researched biography brings you into a vivid life...A full, frank, and fascinating portrait." -- "Newsday" "With the style and precision worthy of his subject, Douglas Brinkley's biography of the late Walter Cronkite gives the icon his due...A keen, fair-minded book." -- "San Francisco Chronicle"
