Review:
A terrific memoir by one of the great newspapermen of the era. Harry Rosenfeld was one of the key editors on Watergate. As a reader will see here, he is probing, open-minded, dogged, and unsparing of everyone including himself. Not everyone will agree with all the details, but this is real history, illuminating and told honestly with a deep sense of the moral obligation of the press. Bob Woodward, coauthor of All the President s Men

Rarely has a newspaperman s personality and experience intersected so perfectly with his time and then been so evocatively expressed in a memoir. Harry Rosenfeld s American journey tells a great and moving tale. Carl Bernstein, coauthor of All the President s Men

This is a great American story From Kristallnacht to Watergate, the inspiring saga of Harry Rosenfeld, arriving as a refugee and rising to the inner circle of journalists who uncovered the greatest scandal in the history of the Presidency. Harry tells it all with wit and panache, with a side order of knishes. Tom Brokaw

What an American journey! Harry Rosenfeld rises from a nine-year-old Jewish refugee kid who can t speak a word of English to become a pivotal Washington Post editor in charge of the Watergate story and overseeing Woodward and Bernstein. Further, Harry is there, on the ground, reporting from Vietnam. He has been a frontline soldier in the contemporary revolution in American journalism. His story is America s story in the last half century. And he tells it with compelling readability in From Kristallnacht to Watergate. Joseph E. Persico, author of Roosevelt s Centurions: FDR and the Commanders He Led to Victory in World War II

Harry has a great story to tell He knew firsthand the brutal mechanism of terror Hitler unleashed on Jews. It s easy to trace Harry s motivation of becoming a member of the Fourth Estate. He understood what could happen without a robust watchdog press. Harry s book is an American immigrant s tale as much as a newspaper memoir But my favorite part in the entire 359 pages is how Harry met Annie. It is a beautiful love story. Paul Grondahl, Albany "Times Union"
[a] remarkable memoir [and] a fascinating exploration of a golden era in journalism the power of this volume doesn t lie in the specifics of the stories which demonstrate, incidentally, that Rosenfeld could have been a great reporter, had he chosen that path rather than newsroom leadership. Rather, the book underscores that journalism s role in preserving the freedoms Americans hold dear depends mostly upon one person after another doing their jobs with extraordinary skill and dedication, like that exemplified by the grown-up version of that little boy who walked the streets of Berlin on a tragic night of breaking glass. Rex Smith, Albany "Times Union"
