Decades in broadcast news provide the foundation for Dan Rather's memoir, journalism and reflections on American public life. Rather Outspoken recounts his career, major political reporting and the circumstances surrounding his departure from CBS, while The American Dream gathers stories from people describing what opportunity and security mean in different parts of the country. What Unites Us, written with Elliot Kirschner, turns towards civic values, institutions and the responsibilities of democratic citizenship. Rather's prose is conversational, anecdotal and shaped by a reporter's instinct for scene and quotation rather than academic political theory. Useful discovery categories include journalism memoir, media history and American civic commentary. Rather Outspoken is the clearest career-focused entry point; What Unites Us is more directly concerned with public institutions and national identity. Read more Less
