Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-22 00:00:00 Jennifer Anderson This memoir by one of the most respected journalists of his time goes back to the start of WWII and takes you up through the George H.W. Bush era. Most of it is pretty interesting, especially his opinions of each President that he covered. The most interesting part of the book is to be found in the appendix, where Reston furnishes the private account of John McCloy (Assistant Secretary of War) of the meetings where the debate on using the atomic bomb(s) on Japan were debated. Interesting stuff.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-07-03 00:00:00 Johnny Jacques It is amazing to read the reflections of someone who was present for so much American history, and Scotty Reston was one of those people. These are his memoirs from a life of reporting, mostly for the New York Times. It is not an easy read, but what resonates is how in the early 1990's (and before) he was writing about issues in America that still are present today. This is a well written, interesting look at American history, and his connections with many leading figures in the world provide excellent personal stories.
