“Bernstein chronicled many of the country’s most riveting stories even before he broke news of Nixon’s Watergate crimes, and he recounts his experiences with a mix of wonder and pride.”

— The New York Times

“His picture of life on the Star is both vivid and elegiac. He captures the frantic rhythms of a big newspaper and its multiple editions and the craft of the men and women who made it all happen.”

— The Economist

“'Chasing History,' a rollicking memoir about the golden age of newspapers...vividly captures the bonds between a local newspaper and the community it covers. Reporters truly knew the people and territory they wrote about.”

— The New York Times

“Chasing History transports readers to a ’60s newsroom—with its click-clacking typewriters & plumes of cigarette smoke—& follows young Bernstein, notepad in hand, as he covers major events like the inauguration of JFK & the 1963 March on Washington.”

— Publisher’s Weekly

“The work of reporter Carl Bernstein is already the stuff of legend, but in this engrossing new memoir, the writer who made his name uncovering the Watergate scandal (and countless Washington secrets since) recounts the beginnings of his life in newspapers, recalling a bygone era of American media and exposing the building blocks of an iconic career.”

— Town & Country

“Bernstein is more concerned with leaving a portrait of his experience in mid-century America than with delivering a lecture. That's what makes Chasing History such an enjoyable book.”
