Critics Review
”[Koppel] writes with aplomb. His style puts readers at ease, just as his on-air style seems to put guests and audience at ease.”
–The Christian Science Monitor
“Koppel’s voice on the page is very much like his voice on camera-wry and measured…The pleasure here is that he is not bound by journalistic restraint.”–The Denver Post
”[Y]ou will get to know… Ted Koppel… irreverent, ironical, informative, intimate, sometimes irritable, but always enormously interesting.”
–Barbara Walters
“[I]n this magnificently written volume, [Koppel] speaks about himself with his usual elegance and rigor.”
–Elie Wiesel
