Andrew Aitken Rooney (January 14, 1919 – November 4, 2011) was an American radio and television writer who was best known for his weekly broadcast "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney", a part of the CBS News program 60 Minutes from 1978 to 2011. His final regular appearance on 60 Minutes aired on October 2, 2011. Rooney was decorated with the Bronze Star Medal and Air Medal for his service as a war correspondent in combat zones during the war. His 1995 memoir My War chronicles his war reporting and recounts several notable historical events and people from a firsthand view, including the entry into Paris and the Nazi concentration camps. He describes how it shaped his experience both as a writer and reporter. CBS refused to broadcast his World War II memoir entitled "An Essay on War" in 1970, so Rooney quit CBS and read the opinion himself on PBS, which was his first appearance on television. That show won him his third Writers Guild Award. As a young correspondent for The Stars and Stripes, Andy Rooney flew bomber missions, arrived in France after the D-Day invasion, was in Paris for the Liberation, crossed the Rhine with the Allied forces, and was one of the first reporters into Buchenwald. My War is the story of a writer learning the craft of journalism. It is moving, suspenseful, and reflective. More
My War
New York: PublicAffairs, 2000. First Public Affairs Edition [stated], First printing [stated]. Hardcover. xiii, [1], 333, [5] pages. Illustrations. Index. Slight wear to DJ. Dot on top edge. Foreword by Tom Brokaw. The author recounts his experiences as a young reporter to "Stars and Stripes," the American forces' daily newspaper in Europe, including his personal account of the liberation and entry into Buchenwald. Andrew Aitken Rooney (January 14, 1919 – November 4, 2011) was a radio and television writer known for his weekly broadcast "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney", a part of the CBS News program 60 Minutes from 1978 to 2011. Rooney began his career in newspapers in 1942 while in the Army where he began writing for Stars and Stripes in London. He was one of six correspondents who flew on the second American bombing raid over Germany in February 1943, flying with the Eighth Air Force. He was the first journalist to reach the Ludendorff Bridge after the 9th Armored Division captured it on March 7, 1945. He was one of the first American journalists to visit the Nazi concentration camps, and one of the first to write about them. Rooney stated that he had been opposed to World War II because he was a pacifist. He recounted that what he saw in those concentration camps permanently changed his opinions about whether "just wars" exist. Rooney was decorated with the Bronze Star Medal and Air Medal for his service as a war correspondent in combat zones during the war. His memoir My War recounts notable historical events and people from a first-hand view, including the entry into Paris and the concentration camps. He describes how it shaped his experience both as a writer and reporter. More

P.S.; A Memoir
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1995. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. 25 cm xi, [3], 304, [2] pages. Illustrations. Index. Slight creasing to DJ edges. Inscribed by the author in French to Henri Tran Van Kha. Pierre Emil George Salinger (June 14, 1925 – October 16, 2004) was an American journalist, author and politician. He had served as the seventh White House Press Secretary for United States Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Salinger served as a United States Senator in 1964 and as campaign manager for the 1968 Robert F. Kennedy presidential campaign. After leaving politics, Salinger became known for his work for ABC News, particularly for his coverage of the Iran Hostage Crisis and the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Salinger worked on Kennedy's presidential campaign in 1960, and became one of the leading figures in the campaign. In 1961, after JFK became President, he hired Salinger as his press secretary. When Kennedy became the first president to allow live television broadcasts of his news conferences, Salinger was said to have managed the press corps with "wit, enthusiasm and considerable disdain for detail," which made him a "celebrity in his own right." After the August 1990 Iraq invasion of Kuwait, ABC sent Salinger to the Middle East, where he obtained a transcript in Arabic of a conversation between Saddam Hussein and the US Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie; the latter infamously told Saddam: "We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts," which was interpreted by some as giving Saddam the green light to invade Kuwait, which he did only days later.
