Truth Worth Telling: A Reporter's Search for Meaning in the Stories of Our Times – An Unflinching Account of Global Events from the Former 60 Minutes Correspondent by Pelley, Scott. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781335999146.

An inspiring, courageous memoir from the frontlines of history by one of the most trusted and respected voices in American journalism. For decades, Scott Pelley has been reporting on news that matters. A former correspondent for 60 Minutes and anchor for CBS Evening News, he has been a fierce advocate for journalistic integrity and the importance of the freedom of the press in an era of disinformation. Now, for the first time, he shares a riveting dispatch from his award-winning career, chronicling globe-spanning moments that shaped our history and a portrait of the people who lived through them. 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; • reveals private moments with presidents (and would-be presidents) hes known for decades; • offers a passionate defense of journalism and the necessity of a free press, and more. "A monument to journalistic excellence" (Douglas Brinkley), Truth Worth Telling is a reminder of the values we can and must uphold, even in the most uncertain of times.
