Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Before he became the face of Fox News at 6 p.m., before he moderated the most-watched debate in cable history, before twenty-five million people tuned in to watch him ask Donald Trump the question that changed the 2016 race, Bret Baier was a kid in Atlanta mowing ten lawns a weekend and carrying golf bags in the Georgia heat. This Bret Baier biography traces the full arc of one of America's most watched and most debated journalists. From his blue-collar Catholic upbringing in New Jersey and Atlanta to his years as a one-man-band reporter on a small island in South Carolina. From covering sea turtles for a PBS station nobody watched to covering wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for a network the whole country was watching. From running a bureau out of his apartment to sitting behind the most powerful news desk in cable television. This is not a Bret Baier memoir or a Bret Baier autobiography told in his own polished words. This is the full story told from the outside. The achievements and the contradictions. The bestselling books and the retracted reports. The war zones and the hospital waiting rooms. The man who told a former president on live television that he lost the 2020 election and the man whose private messages showed him pushing to undo his own network's accurate election call. At the center of it all is a father whose newborn son was diagnosed with five congenital heart defects and survived five open-heart surgeries. A husband whose marriage held through decades of crisis. A journalist who built Special Report into the most-watched 6 p.m. newscast in cable news and kept it there for more than seventeen years. And an author whose seven bestselling presidential histories, from Eisenhower to Teddy Roosevelt, earned him a reputation far beyond television. Fans of The Case for America author will find the full story behind the man who writes about American leadership because he has spent his entire career watching it up close.
