Product Description:
No TV reporter today is more respected than NBC’s Andrea Mitchell. She’s covered stories from Jonestown to the fall of the Berlin Wall, gotten unexpected answers from such interviewees as Fidel Castro and Hillary Clinton, and balanced her high-wire career with a very public marriage to former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Dr. Alan Greenspan. Mitchell’s candid, funny, and riveting memoir is filled with unprecedented behind-the-scenes views of the television news industry and official Washington. A classic of contemporary journalism by a woman who has taken on her profession’s entire old-boy network, Talking Back deserves a place on the shelf alongside the memoirs of Hillary Clinton and Katherine Graham.

Now, with that out of the way, ... Read More

If you enjoy a mix of autobiography, history and current events, this book will delight you. Andrea Mitchell covers the American scene through the eyes of a journalist who, as husband of Allen Greenspan, was, at times, participant. Fair and balanced. Goes well with a shade tree and glass of lemonade.

I thoroughly enjoyed the approach of this book, reading about her experiences as a journalist & working with various presidential administrations. I never felt mislead as some others have written, that she was going to write an autobiography; she calls it a memoir.
This book seemed very objective until it hit the Clinton section. In my opinion, it became extremely evident Ms. Mitchell is not a fan of the Clinton's. That would not be an issue, had she not attacked them as she does, taken this section ... Read More
