Murrow is the biography of America's foremost broadcast journalist,
Edward R. Murrow. At twenty-nine, he was the prototype of a species
new to communications-an eyewitness to history with power to reach
millions. His wartime radio reports from London rooftops brought
the world into American homes for the first time. His legendary
television documentary See It Now exposed us to the scandals and
injustices within our own country. Friend of Presidents, conscience
of the people, Murrow remained an enigma-idealistic, creative,
self-destructive. In this portrait, based on twelve years of
research, A. M. Sperber reveals the complexity and achievements of
a man whose voice, intelligence, and honesty inspired a nation
during its most profound and vulnerable times.
