Book Description:
Anderson Cooper's groundbreaking coverage on CNN has changed the way we watch the news. Few people have witnessed more scenes of chaos and conflict around the world. In this gripping, candid, and remarkably powerful memoir, he offers an unstinting, up-close view of the most harrowing crises of our time, and the profound impact they have had on his life—from the tsunami in Sri Lanka to the war in Iraq, from the starvation in Niger to the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Mississippi.
Striking, heartfelt, and utterly engrossing, Dispatches from the Edge is an unforgettable story from one of America's most trusted, fearless, and pioneering reporters.

Alice P. (Anderson Cooper is either one of the greatest men to ever work in media, or he's the best best faker in media. Either way, well done! As soon as I retrieved this book from the mailbox, I was engrossed. I put down everything else I was reading/doing and read this memoir. My respect for Anderson multiplied several times over during this read. Memoir/biography fans will love this book, as will anyone who is a news junkie (I am both). I hope A.C. will publish many more memoirs of this type throughout his career.
