Ticking Clock: Behind the Scenes at 60 Minutes
eadieburke avatar reviewed on + 1615 more book reviews


Ticking Clock is an account of the most successful news show in American history, 60 minutes. Ira Rosen reveals the interview secrets that made Mike Wallace's work legendary. Rosen exposes the competitive environment among famous colleagues like Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters, and the power plays between correspondents Chris Wallace, Anderson Cooper, and Chris Cuomo. I enjoyed this book as I used to watch these news commentators all the time and it was interesting to learn about what went on behind the scenes.
