Synopsis

An inspiring memoir from the frontlines of history by the award-winning 60 Minutes correspondent.

Don’t ask the meaning of life. Life is asking, what’s the meaning of you?

With this provocative question, Truth Worth Telling introduces us to unforgettable people who discovered the meaning of their lives in the historic events of our times.

A 60 Minutes correspondent and former anchor of the CBS Evening News, Scott Pelley writes as a witness to events that changed our world. In moving, detailed prose, he stands with firefighters at the collapsing World Trade Center on 9/11, advances with American troops in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, and reveals private moments with presidents (and would-be presidents) he’s known for decades. Pelley also offers a resounding defense of free speech and a free press as the rights that guarantee all others.

Above all, Truth Worth Telling offers a collection of inspiring tales that reminds us of the importance of values in uncertain times. For readers who believe that values matter and that truth is worth telling, Pelley writes, “I have written this book for you.”

Full disclosure: I won a free ARC of this book in a Goodreads giveaway. The title is certainly accurate. These truths are indeed worth telling.

Goodreads review by Adam on September 10, 2019

Review of the audiobook narrated by the author. People, not politics. That simple sentence sums up Scott Pelley and what he is about. Every story he tells focuses is how the individual(s) were personally affected and its impact on the American people. Not to mention, he constantly goes out of his way......more

Goodreads review by Rachelle on May 27, 2019

I knew halfway through the first sentence of this book that it was going to be incredible, but honestly, it went far beyond that. This book was one of the hardest I think I’ve ever read—not because it’s a difficult read, but because it covers so much of the bad things that have happened over the las......more

Scott Pelley's (S.P.) memoir. He served as CBS Evening News anchor. And he continues as a "60 Minutes" correspondent. I realize he was/ is a serious-minded man of integrity. I don't expect a non-fiction book to be all roses and rainbows. But this book had war (mostly Afghanistan & Iraq), war torture,......more
