Reporter: A Memoir

Interesting read and walk down memory lane. Considering the current political climate, there were times the book lessened my pessimism by reminding me of some of the horrors which our nation somehow managed to survive�-
And yet also at times deepened my pessimism as I was reminded that we American citizens seem to simply move on without seriously taking stock of our country’s most shameful episodes.
Will we ever “move on� from—much less take stock of —these trump years. Or will we in future look back and think that these trump years weren’t so bad, as we try to survive worse things to come?
Will we ever recover from the Bush/Cheney years? Was anything lasting learned from the Church committee or from My Lai? From Abu Ghraib?
I look forward to future investigative reporting by Mr Hersh, and to the promised Cheney book. Does the truth matter? Wonderful book, highly recommended.
