This Just in - by Bob Schieffer (Paperback)

About the Book

Schieffer is not only broadcast journalism's most experienced Washington reporter, but one of its best natural writers. "This Just In" is filled with great behind-the-scenes tales and surprising scoops based on dozens of brand-new--and sometimes startling--interviews.

Book Synopsis

Bob Schieffer started his reporting career in Texas when he was barely old enough to buy a beer, joined CBS News in 1969, and became one of the few correspondents ever to have covered all four major Washington beats: the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, and Capitol Hill. Over the past four decades, he's seen it all-and now he's sharing the after-hours tales only his colleagues know.
