A short book of mostly anecdotes and brief recollections by one of the most prolific debate moderators. Many of these memories I had heard before, but it was sometimes fun to simply enjoy his stories from his perspective.

Won't really bring anything new or enlightening to history, but for those that are fans of Jim Lehrer or are political fans who love watching the debates, then the memories are fun to relive. (like the Clinton/Bush/Perot debates or the Gore/Bush ones in 2000).

It's too bad that Al Gore and Ross Perot were unwilling to lend their voices to the interviews. Mr. Lehrer seemed to be able to gather interviews at various times from almost all the other cast of candidates we have seen over the last 30+ years.

The stories were enjoyable, but brief...and unfortunately offered nothing super-enlightening to history. It was a good "fluff" read when I was looking for something else, I suppose.
