Book
Assignment Russia : becoming a foreign correspondent in the crucible of the Cold War / Marvin Kalb.
"In the book Kalb captures the excitement of being present at the creation of a whole new way of bringing news immediately to the public. And what news. Cold War tensions were high between Eisenhower's America and Khrushchev's Soviet Union. Kalb is at the center, occupying a unique spot as a student of Russia tasked with explaining Moscow to Washington and the American public. He joins a cast of legendary figures along the way, from Murrow himself to Eric Severeid, Howard K. Smith, Richard Hottelet, Charles Kuralt, and Daniel Schorr among many others. He finds himself assigned as Moscow correspondent for CBS News just as the U2 incident-the downing of a U.S. spy plane over Russian territory-is unfolding"-- Provided by publisher.
