The riveting biography of Burl Osborne, former chairman of The
Associated Press and publisher of The Dallas Morning News, who
waged and won one of the last great newspaper wars in the U.S. Burl
is the story of one man's unlikely rise from the coal mines of
Appalachia to the pinnacle of journalism. After being diagnosed
with a fatal kidney disease as a child, Burl Osborne pioneered home
dialysis treatment and became the 130th person to undergo a live
kidney transplant in 1966-then an unproven, high-risk operation.
While managing his challenging illness, Burl distinguished himself
early as a writer and reporter with The Associated Press,
eventually rising to the top of the wire service's executive ranks.
Then, against the advice of his colleagues and the newspaper's own
doctors, he sought an even greater challenge: joining The Dallas
Morning News to lead the fight in one of America's last great
newspaper wars. Throughout his life and career, he garnered respect
from business and political leaders, reporters, editors, and
publishers around the country. Burl thrusts readers into the
improbable and remarkable life of a man at the forefront of both
medicine and the golden age of journalism.
