“The world is a better place when we have an open exchange of ideas,” Rather states on News and Guts, his Facebook news feed and social media platform. Adding millions of followers to the legions of viewers he won across a career spanning more than sixty years, including over two decades as a CBS anchor, Rather reflects daily on the state of the nation and on the very idea of America. The essays collected here draw on his vast first-hand experience of recent history, including his meetings with presidents from Eisenhower on.

Rather will be in conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jonathan Capehart, member of The Washington Post editorial board, host of the “Cape Up” podcast and MSNBC contributor.
