Murrow is the biography of Americaβs foremost broadcast journalist, Edward R. Murrow. At twenty-nine, he was the prototype of a species new to communicationsβan eyewitness to history with power to reach millions. His wartime radio reports from London rooftops brought the world into American homes for the first time. His legendary television documentary See It Now exposed us to the scandals and injustices within our own country.

Sperber reveals the complexity and achievements of a man whose voice, intelligence, and honesty inspired a nation during its most profound and vulnerable times.
