My Memoirs Fifty Years Of Journalism, From Print To The Internet [Hardcover]

Bernard Gwertzman tells the story of growing up as a journalist in the world of print newspapers, his home town New Rochelle, New York, Standard-Star, then the Washington D.C. Evening Star, both of which went under as print papers collapsed, where he became a senior diplomatic correspondent, until moving to The New York Times where he served during the Cold War as Moscow bureau chief and then travelled with Henry Kissinger making deals opening the way toward peace in the Middle East, rising to foreign editor, guiding the paper to covering the collapse of Communism from 1989-1993, the end of apartheid, and other major stories. In 1995, he helped lead The Times into the world of the Internet which may be the future of the press today.
