    "description": "<b>A <i>New York Times</i> bestseller</b><br></br><b><br></br>In this triumphant memoir, Carl Bernstein, the Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of <i>All the President's Men</i> and pioneer of investigative journalism, recalls his beginnings as an audacious teenage newspaper reporter in the nation's capital-a winning tale of scrapes, gumshoeing, and American bedlam.</b><br></br><br></br>In 1960, Bernstein was just a sixteen-year-old at considerable risk of failing to graduate high school. Inquisitive, self-taught-and, yes, truant-Bernstein landed a job as a copyboy at the <i>Evening Star</i>, the afternoon paper in Washington. By nineteen, he was a reporter there. <br></br><br></br>In <i>Chasing History: A Kid in the Newsroom</i>, Bernstein recalls the origins of his storied journalistic career as he chronicles the Kennedy era, the swelling civil rights movement, and a slew of grisly crimes. He spins a buoyant, frenetic account of educating himself in what Bob Woodward describes as \"the genius of perpetual engagement.\" <br></br><br></br>Funny and exhilarating, poignant and frank, <i>Chasing History</i> is an extraordinary memoir of life on the cusp of adulthood for a determined young man with a dogged commitment to the truth.",
