Description
A behind-the-scenes memoir by one of today's top broadcast journalists. A powerful woman in a man's world, Mitchell started her pathbreaking career as the quintessential girl reporter. She's been labeled a "pushy broad," yet her intelligence, tenacity, and ability to always be "where the action is" have catapulted her to the top of her profession. Mitchell has regularly shared her observations with millions of television viewers for more than three decades. Time and again, Mitchell has show more proven herself by taking on the tough assignments. She has had unique access to all the presidents and their staffs from Jimmy Carter to George W. Bush, and here gives us her unvarnished insights into these men and those who surround them. But Mitchell has a unique front-row seat not only in the political world, but also in the "A" list drawing rooms of Washington and other capitals.--From publisher description. show lessTags
