• What is a novelette? And is it Worth Writing One?

The Truth. The book is raw and unforgettable. Pelley has a writing style that is equal to his reporting style and that made this both a heartbreaking read and a profound one.

What’s it mean for you?

Free Speech and what it means for the people. Why it is the most important thing at all times and especially at this moment in history. A Free Press is part of the checks and balances that we must have in a democracy. Review of the audiobook narrated by the author.

People, not politics. That simple sentence sums up Scott Pelley and what he is about. Every story he tells focuses is how the individual s were personally affected and its impact on the American people. Not to mention, he constantly goes out of his way to give credit to his colleagues behind the scenes that made each story possible.

You would think he was a no-talent floating head by how incredibly humble he is, but that is obviously not the case. Truth Worth Telling reads like a series of extended 60 Minutes segments, which is a very good thing. Pelley takes us through the most important events which he has covered in the last 30 years and, with the benefit of hindsight, gives a thorough overview of each.

Throughout the book his dry wit and self-depreciating humor bring many lighter moments to otherwise difficult stories. I can count the books that made me both laugh out loud and cry on one hand, and this is one of them. This book especially the audiobook is a no-brainer for any fans of Mr.

It really is a fantastic although difficult at times listen from start to finish. I'm not by any means patriotic, but Mr. Pelley makes me proud to be an American both by his love for his country and the fact that there are people like him in it who can make such a difference. Highly recommended. Final verdict: 5 star story, 5 star narration, 5 stars overall Scott Pelley's S. And he continues as a "60 Minutes" correspondent.

I don't expect a non-fiction book to be all roses and rainbows.

That explained the US troops maimed and killed. The Great Recession: I learned helpful details on that. They had the right name but the wrong man. They kept him anyway for 5 months! They released him miles from home with a bag of Euroes. He recounted his torture but a US federal court dismissed his case. Pelley described the dangerous life in a battle zone and the special duct tape markings placed on a vehicle's hood and widows identifying those within as media.

An interesting bk. IMO the violent acts seemed over- whelming at times IE "boy play" rapes, shredded legs. The horrid visuals stayed with me. Scott Pelley takes us on his journey covering everything from rock stars to national tragedies to international war stories. He also shares his knowledge to aspiring writers and journalists.

Very well written memoir by this award winning journalist. Jun 06, Genie rated it it was amazing. This was such an excellent book, which was also a hard read. It will change my lens as I look to the future. Oct 31, Barbara Nutting rated it it was amazing. Excellent and informative. I learned a lot from reading this book, about war and peace. It was a great look at some of the best news reporting in the past almost 30 years. Fair and square!!

I received my copy free through Goodreads Giveaways. View 1 comment. From the publisher, as I do not regurgitate the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it. An inspiring memoir from the frontlines of history by the award-winning 60 Minutes correspondent. Pelley also offers a resounding defence of free speech and a free press as the rights that guarantee all others. Above all, Truth Worth Telling offers a collection of inspiring tales that remind us of the importance of values in uncertain times. The use of free press and "fake news" according to one insane man is more important now than ever and his view on it will make you think long and hard about the world and yourself and your place in it.

The book is well presented and it does not ramble all over the place like some books of this genre do. It is a fascinating read and it will be a delightful read for my non-fiction and biography book clubs. May 27, Rachelle rated it it was amazing. I knew halfway through the first sentence of this book that it was going to be incredible, but honestly, it went far beyond that. This book was powerful, insightful, and beautifully written.

It was I knew halfway through the first sentence of this book that it was going to be incredible, but honestly, it went far beyond that. It also held a fantastic message about patriotism, journalism, and the truth and how they all work together. Scott Pelley managed to offer a very balanced criticism at everything that has been going on, and beyond that, has offered hope that despite everything seemingly going to Hell in a hand basket, it will turn out okay in the end.

Also he did a fantastic job explaining a lot of the issues that have been going on over the last couple of decades that I was either too young to care about or too busy worrying about other things to know were happening, and it was immensely satisfying to learn about all of these things from such a reliable source.

This is not an easy read. It might also make you horrified and awed in equal parts.

Lesson 1: Value Transference

But is absolutely worth the read. What is truth today? With false news, fake media, lack of journalistic checks and balances it's not surprising one might find themselves asking is the truth being told and is the truth worth telling? Yes, it is as Scott does a fine job writing what we lived on the front lines, behind the scenes, being told remarkable truths and he shares his love of not only journalism but transparency and fact checking with the world.

It's a remarkable viewpoint one so rarely seen as the eyes and ears of a What is truth today? It's a remarkable viewpoint one so rarely seen as the eyes and ears of a journalist who is sometimes chasing the story and sometimes becomes the story. Nobody will ever forget and this books literally begins with that horror and the aftermath and it doesn't let up.

From historical events, to interviews, to Clinton's impeachment it's all in here and all so very valuable to those who seek the truth. I really appreciate the straightforward writing style and organization of events by chapter - no aimless wandering around in this book. I did not really even follow Scott Pelley or his career before reading this book, but I definitely will now.

Jun 21, Lisa rated it it was amazing. I really enjoyed this book. His book provided interesting details about many of the stories he covered and prompted me to think differently about a number of issues. I love how he always gave credit to the many people with whom he worked and was so appreciative of their talent. I thought it was terrific that he commented on facts and didn't side with one political party. He enlightened me about the I really enjoyed this book. He enlightened me about the importance of the free press and the need to educate my daughters about evaluating what they read.

Nov 10, Fred Forbes rated it it was amazing. How many stars does your flag have? Asking a question like that and reminding us that Americans, despite their political beliefs all serve a common country and the path to democracy is based on compromise with compromise based on suggestions from many sides of an issue. The extreme polarization, the preference for self affirming "news" from the echo chamber of opinion is not only inaccurate, it is dangerous.
