The book contains selections from interviews between the legendary journalist and an experienced oral historian--Cronkite's friend, Dr. Don Carleton.

With the publication of Conversations with Cronkite, readers have the opportunity to discover the behind-the-scenes stories of his life, edited by Carleton to focus on key events, issues, and themes. More than just oral history transcripts, these are the intimate conversations of two friends, covering virtually every aspect of Cronkite's life and career. Illustrated with photographs and archival treasures from the Cronkite Papers, Conversations with Cronkite gives readers the opportunity to once again hear the voice of "the most trusted man in America."

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
As "the most trusted man in America," Cronkite was seen on the CBS Evening News from 1962 to 1981. His legacy lives on in this collection of interviews, a companion book to his best-selling memoir, A Reporter's Life. The beloved anchorman, who died last year, commissioned Carleton (director, Dolph Briscoe Ctr. for American History, Univ. of Texas; coauthor, Dolph Briscoe: My Life in Texas Ranching and Politics) to preserve his personal papers and to be his historical adviser and the researcher for his autobiography. Carleton conducted a series of interviews with Cronkite amounting to over 60 hours of recordings and more than 1000 pages of transcript. Unlike Cronkite's memoir, this collection focuses solely on the newsman's influential work in broadcast journalism. It also provides additional insight into the historic events that he covered and later wrote about, such as the assassination of JFK and the 1969 moon landing. VERDICT Fans of Cronkite as well as students of journalism and American history will find this book entertaining and informative.—Donna Marie Smith, Palm Beach Cty. Lib. Syst., FL
