In this moving and engrossing memoir, veteran television news producer
Richard Cohen relates a life spent dealing with multiple sclerosis,
first diagnosed when he was 25 years old and just getting started in
the competitive world of broadcast journalism. As his career progressed,
he struggled not only with the disease but the touchy question of how
much of the truth about himself to share with colleagues and potential
employers.
Cohen spent much of his life running from the onset of the disease's
symptoms from which his father and grandmother also suffered. Defiantly,
he took challenging, sometimes extremely dangerous assignments in Lebanon,
Poland, and on the domestic political campaign trail, even as his body
deteriorated.
