"Andrea makes the historical content interesting and insightful. I wish my career was as exciting. How may of us can truly say, "Along this journey, I have made sacrifices I sometimes regret, although none so important that I would take the path not chosen." Go for it Andrea."

" Interested behind the scenes look into the lives of reporters & journalists and the people they cover. "

" Insight into happenings in the years past. "

" This was a great read. The story of Andrea Mitchell's journalistic life and career is wonderfully interesting, chock full of great stories. A must read! "

" Andrea Mitchell has led an exceptional career. Unfortunately, she adds a lot of her personal life & quite frankly, I don't care about that. So, I'd say 75% is excellent, 25% was fluff. "
— Jane, 5/14/2013 -
" Mitchell gives you a history lesson based on her various reporting and travels through the world. Her insight in the book is as good as her "breaking news" or perspective on current political issues. "
— Emiliano, 2/17/2013 -
" Waste of time. Nothing new here. Shallow and vapid. "
— David, 8/12/2012 -
" I didn't really finish the book. I got a little bored. But it was interesting and informative of politics before my time. I think once I hit the Clinton era (about when I started to pay attention to politics seriously) I got bored "
— Misty, 5/18/2012 -
" Decent book with some interesting insight into Andrea Mitchell's life... but nothing earth-shattering. "
— Mark, 5/15/2012 -
" I have always liked Mitchell's reporting style as the Chief Foreign Correspondent on NBC News, so I enjoyed reading about her perspective on some of the big (and not so big) stories she's done. Also, she's married to Alan Greenspan for god's sake, so there must be an interesting story there. "

" Andrea Mitchell gives a very non-biased view of the historical events she covered in her career. It was really interesting and gave a very human perspective on critical events in history. "
