The untold story of how the world's most feared TV reporter
transformed his inner darkness into a journalistic juggernaut that
riveted millions and redefined the landscape of television news
In his four decades as the front man for "60 Minutes, "the most
successful show in television history, Mike Wallace earned the
distinction of being hyperaggressive, self-assured, and unflinching
in his riveting exposes of injustice and corruption. His unrivaled
career includes interviews with every major newsmaker of the late
twentieth century, from Martin Luther King to Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad.
Behind this intimidating facade, however, Wallace was profoundly
depressed and haunted by demons that nearly drove him to suicide.
Despite reaching the pinnacle of his profession, Wallace harbored
deep insecurities about his credentials as a journalist. For half
his life, he was more "TV Personality" than reporter, dabbling as a
quiz show emcee, commercial pitchman, and actor. But in the wake of
a life-changing personal tragedy, Wallace transformed himself,
against all odds, into the most talked-about newsman in
America.
Peter Rader's "Mike Wallace: A Life "tells the story of a
courageous man who triumphed over personal adversity and redefined
the landscape of television news.
