About this audiobook
With his distinctive blend of frontline determination and a journalist's knack for a good story, former CBS anchorman Dan Rather looks at the awesome struggles and everyday accomplishments he's witnessed at home and around the globe. Ranging from the Iraq conflict to a schoolyard shooting in Arkansas, from the Oklahoma City bombing to encounters with world-renowned figures such as Princess Diana, Bill Gates, and Dolly Parton, Deadlines and Datelines provides unique insights from one of America's premier newsmen. Though not without its lighter moments, these essays include a wide range of thought-provoking observations and show yet again the skill and intelligence that made Rather an important part of our world for more than five decades.
