Who doesn't love Walter? A must read( or hear) for baby boomers. The highlights of his career were the major new events of our lives. Good to listen to in the car!

Thought it would be a unique look at history through the eyes of Walter Cronkite, but I probably could have written this book. Too bad.

I enjoyed this book, though it's more a series of unconnected vignettes than a true authobiography though the music was annoying. And I really, really don't see how it's unabridged since it's only 1 CD......

He was a hero when I was a kid. We judged the importance of events from his report every night -- not that he told us what to think, but he presented the facts that thinking people would want to know so we could make informed decisions. His personal comments on history, now that he's not a professional commentator are priceless. But I'm a fan.

Not well written ...and I really like and respect the author. Cronkite narrates the book (as he did with his excellent book "A Reporters Life") but this one is a fractured collection of thoughts with very little flow.
When it ended I looked around for another CD that I thought I had lost or had not been delivered, that's how clumsy the ending was.
