About this listen

Take a journey over the last four decades of news, from Hollywood to Washington and around the world, from Andorra to Zimbabwe. Ride the campaign plane with Ronald Reagan; get the inside story of why Congress is such a disaster; and share adventure travel stories from a globetrotting correspondent. Retired CBS news correspondent Bob Fuss has traveled with half a dozen presidents and covered Congress for more than 20 years. In this audiobook he includes travelogues from his adventures around the world.

One unique aspect of his story is that while millions of radio listeners heard his reports every day, none knew he was disabled and has always walked on crutches.

Critic Reviews

"Absolutely no one could tell Bob Fuss's story better than he does! Fuss was a radio news correspondent from 1974 to 2014. With great enthusiasm, he tells of traveling the world to cover several Papal visits, six presidents, 20 years of Congress, multiple Academy Awards ceremonies, and more. Fuss was also an intrepid pleasure traveler, and in his signature conversational style, he takes listeners with him on those trips as well. One of his greatest achievement he mentions only briefly: He was born with multiple handicaps and used crutches all of his life to walk. Thus, he's not only a treasure trove of fascinating information but also an inspiration. Listeners, prepare for a fast-paced, humorous look at the world through the eyes of a unique and gifted man. S.G.B." ( Audiofile)
"Readers in want of adventure need look no further than Fuss's memoir. Petrified shark, the Stalin Peace Prize, the slap of a distrustful, amorous sea lion—40 years of his memories as a national radio correspondent (including more than one kidnapping tale) are distilled into hilarious reads with journalistic punch." ( Stanford Magazine)
