Description

Assignment Russia
by Marvin Kalb. Read by Marvin Kalb
Becoming a Foreign Correspondent in the Crucible of the Cold War

Award-winning journalist Marvin Kalb has written extensively about the world during his long career. In this memoir, he writes about how he became that journalist. The last journalist hired by legendary broadcaster Edward R. Murrow (one of a select group that came to be known as the Murrow Boys) Kalb newest volume of his memoirs takes readers back to his first days as a journalist, which were also the first days of broadcast news.

Kalb captures the excitement of being present at the creation of a whole new way of bringing news immediately to the public. And what news. Cold War tensions were high between Eisenhower’s America and Khrushchev’s Soviet Union. Kalb is at the center, occupying a unique spot as a student of Russia tasked with explaining Moscow to Washington and the American public. He joins a cast of legendary figures along the way, from Murrow himself to Eric Severeid, Howard K. Smith, Richard Hottelet, Charles Kuralt, and Daniel Schorr among many others. He finds himself assigned as Moscow correspondent of CBS News just as the U2 incident—the downing of a US spy plane over Russian territory—is unfolding.

As readers of his first volume, The Year I Was Peter the Great, will recall, being the right person, in the right place, at the right time found Kalb face to face with Khrushchev. Assignment Russia sees Kalb once again an eyewitness to history—and a writer and analyst who has helped shape the first draft of that history.
