"Alan Weisman has come as close as anyone to unraveling one of the
big mysteries of the television age: who is the real Dan Rather?
Weisman has devoted much time, energy, and talent to that question,
and this book is a fascinating read."
--Robert Pierpoint, former "CBS News" correspondent
"There is no career in modern television journalism that is more
fascinating, complicated, controversial, or accomplished than that
of Dan Rather, and there is no one who has focused the attention of
colleagues, TV writers, competitors, and, of course, critics to a
similar degree over the last twenty-five years. Alan Weisman's
lively account of this remarkable life explains why the quest to
understand Rather has remained so vital and important."
--Verne Gay, television critic, "Newsday"
"This book is an attempt to take a few steps back from Memogate
and examine the whole picture -- the scope and breadth of Dan
Rather's life, career, and times. If he mattered enough to be
watched by untold millions of people for fifty years on television,
then his story matters enough to be told as fully as
possible."
--From "Lone Star: The Extraordinary Life and Times of Dan
Rather"
