If you are interested in Walter Cronkite or his love for his wife. then this is a book for you. If you think you are mostly interested in WW II journalism, then you should probably read some other book. Journalism takes a second place to Walter's career and his love for Betsy.

Still, it was a nice book, put together by their grandson.

If you are interested in war journalism overall, I suggest "The First Casualty" by Phillip Knightley. The title comes from a statement supposedly made by a U.S. Senator, "The first casualty of war is truth."
