Foreword by Morley Safer. 10.25"x7.25", 375 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Conversations with Cronkite gives readers a rare glimpse into the life and times of the late Walter Cronkite, in his own words. The book contains selections from interviews between the legendary journalist and an experienced oral historian - Cronkite's friend, Dr. Don Carleton. The relationship between Cronkite and the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History was forged in 1988 when Carleton invited the legendary CBS newsman to make the Center the permanent archival home for his personal and professional papers. In 1989 Cronkite asked Carleton to assist him with the research and preparation for his autobiography. Every three to four months, for a period stretching over four years, they met for two or three days, sometimes longer, for Carleton to interview Cronkite and to record the recollections of his extraordinary life and career. Eventually they produced more than sixty hours of recordings and thirteen hundred pages of transcript. While Cronkite used the interviews as the basis of his 1996 memoir, A Reporter's Life, the interviews themselves have never been published. With the publication of Conversations with Cronkite, readers have the opportunity to read the behind-the-scenes stories of his life, edited by Carleton to focus on key events, issues, and themes. More than just oral history transcripts, these are the intimate conversations of two friends, covering virtually every aspect of Cronkite's life and career. Illustrated with photographs from the Cronkite Papers, Conversations with Cronkite gives the readers the opportunity to once again hear the voice of "the most trusted man in America."

Walter Cronkite on: His famous sign off "And that's the way it is" I didn't clear it with [CBS] in any way. I started using it, and [Richard Salant] said, "This presupposes that everything we said is right, that that's the whole picture of the day's news. I don't really think you ought to be doing that." I think he was correct. But the thing had already caught on. It really was just rolling. So I got to kind of a point of being stubborn about it and said, "Well, I like it." [Salant] said, "Well, it's up to you." He let it go. It has been much criticized by serious television critics . . . because of that argument that . . . it was presumptive that everything we said is correct. Which was wrong. I shouldn't have said that. . . . And particularly when we got into controversial subjects like the Vietnam War. In fact, there's a New Yorker cartoon with a guy coming half out of his chair and shouting at his television, saying, "That's NOT the way it is." Being a United Press reporter during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II God, it was cold. We looked like Washington's army at Valley Forge. At one point, the troops I was with entered a town, and we got into a fire fight right away. It was very intense. My driver and I hopped out of our jeep and got in behind a doorway. The Germans were at one end of the main street and . . . it was a pretty good fire fight. I looked up and saw a GI . . . leaning out taking a shot or two. . . . I knew this was a story. I yelled out, "What's your name, soldier?" "Colonel Jones." I said, "Where are you from, what outfit are you with?" He said, "Mr. Cronkite, I'm your driver." On Fidel Castro He was fascinated about . . . my war experience. Fascinated about the landings in Normandy. A real war buff. At one point I said, "I've been in a lot of Communist countries, including living two years in Moscow. I have yet to see a Communist country that understood the necessity of maintenance of . . . buildings or anything else." [Castro] threw up his hands and said, "Oh, boy, I know that. It's absolutely terrible." I said, "We.…
