Reporting Live

In her more than 25 years at CBS News, Lesley Stahl, the woman TV Guide called "the toughest interviewer on television," has seen it all, and now she shares her experiences in the behind-the-scenes memoir Reporting Live. From her early days covering the Watergate scandal to the eight years she spent on "Face the Nation" and her current work on "60 Minutes," Stahl has confronted presidents, network moguls, crooked politicians, rock musicians, movie stars, and even competing journalists with the same tough-but-fair approach that has distinguished her career.

The New York Times Book Review - Robin Toner

Stahl has the anecdotes and her writing the texture you would expect from a correspondent who spent a decade on the White House....less an attempt to analyze the policies and politics of the period she covered than a you-are-there journal of what it was like to be there covering it.

Lesley Stahl has been a reporter for CBS News for more than twenty-five years. She was White House correspondent for the CBS Evening News during the Carter, Reagan, and Bush administrations; the host of Face the Nation from 1983 to 1991; and has been a correspondent for 60 Minutes for the last eight years. She lives in New York City with her husband, Aaron Latham.
