"I thought this was an interesting read, and I enjoyed some of the backstory to different guests on Face the Nation (note, this isn't a show I regularly watch). I thought Bob Schieffer did a good job with the storytelling, and I'll probably try reading another of his books. "

" It's like a reader's digest version of the last 50 years of politics in America. Easy read. I plan to read it again to try and retain more. "

" I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. Having not lived throught most of the important events of the last 50 years, it was good to read about them from a journalist's point of view. "
— Coleman, 7/25/2011 -
" Bob talks about his experiences working on the show, and the importance of hearing people out on the program, to allow for many political viewpoints tp be considered. (not like Fox news) "
