New York, N.Y. Blue Rider Press [A Member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc.], 2013. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. [12], 386, [2]pages. Maps. Mark Leibovich (born May 9, 1965) is an American journalist and author. He is the chief national correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, based in Washington, D.C. He is known for his profiles on political and media figures. He also writes the Times magazine's "Your Fellow Americans" column about politics, media, and public life. Leibovich got his start as a journalist writing for Boston's alternative weekly, The Phoenix, where he worked for four years. He moved to California and worked as a reporter at The San Jose Mercury News. Leibovich then moved to Washington to work at The Washington Post, where he spent nine years, first covering the national technology sector for the Post's business section, then serving as the lead political writer for the paper's style section. In 2006, Leibovich was hired by The New York Times where he was a national political correspondent in the New York Times' Washington Bureau. He then became Chief National Correspondent at The New York Times Magazine. Lebovich appears frequently as a guest on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, NPR’s On the Media, and other public affairs programs. Leibovich presents a blistering, stunning, examination of our ruling class's incestuous "media industrial complex." We discover how the funeral for a beloved newsman becomes the social event of the year. How a disgraced Hill aide can overcome ignominy and maybe emerge with a more potent "brand" than many elected members of Congress. And how an administration bent on "changing Washington" can be sucked into the way of This Town with ease. More

He covered the war on London After Dark, along with Murrow and Eric Sevareid. He reported extensively from the Soviet Union after he was assigned to Moscow in 1941. LeSueur covered D-Day, the liberation of Paris, as well as the concentration camp liberations. He delivered the first broadcast to American listeners from a liberated Paris via underground radio broadcast. He was cited by the War Department for "outstanding and conspicuous service" and awarded the French Legion of Honor and French Liberation Medal. On D-Day, LeSueur landed on Utah Beach. It took a week until his broadcasts from the first day of Normandy could be heard by U.S. listeners. On the June 18 edition of CBS World News Today, LeSueur gave his account of landing at Normandy and witnessing the Allied bombings across the beaches, the surrenders of Nazi soldiers, and his eventual arrival to the skirmish in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont just hours after the landings. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom for his reporting on World War II. LeSueur also penned a book in 1943, Twelve Months That Changed the World, about important Eastern Front battles he covered in 1941 and 1942 for CBS. More
