"Entertaining . . . Cronkite rarely misses the opportunity to balance the breast-beating with humorous storytelling."

--People

"Blessed with an extraordinary memory, Cronkite recalls decades-old conversations verbatim as he presents a leisurely, anecdotal look at the mishaps, misadventures, and sheer joy of his early career."

--San Francisco Chronicle

"Readers with fond memories of Uncle Walter's days at the helm will not be surprised that he has strong opinions . . . and he delivers them firmly but gracefully. . . . A Reporter's Life is generous with the details."

--Booklist

"As usual, Cronkite's wit is second-to-none and comes through clearly in his prose. Still, he never pulls punches and minces no words regarding the multitude of famous and powerful men and women he met along the way. His engrained honesty and objectivity is a refreshing look to when journalism was an honest art, plagued not by corporate sponsorship

To live the life of Walter Cronkite is to live a thousand years. For nearly half a decade Walter Cronkite served as the voice of reason to millions of Americans who looked to his print, radio, and television reports for information and reassurance. This autobiography covers the life of Walter Cronkite from his early life as a lowly radio announcer to his ultimate stand at the pinnacle of journalism."

Walter always made us better. He set the bar so high.”
