I first purchased this hard copy used edition, and loved it so much that after three months of dithering, I purchased the ebook. The reason is simple: as a history buff, but also a person in media and entertainment, many of who we work with are in those two industries. This book is fascinating because it provides the behind-the-scenes for so many iconic moments in television, and it does so from the perspective of the producer, the person actually creating, developing, nurturing and editing the stories. I hate purchasing books and feeling like I already know most of the stories, and I feared this would be the case with 50 yrs of 60 min--but it was not. For example, the memorable context behind the unforgettable interview with Bill and Hillary Clinton post Monica Lewinsky, and the famed stand-by-your-man I'm not Tammy Wynette line. Fager provides the lead up to it, and what the producer told the Clintons to get them to address the question, which was essentially: you answer this once and say you did it on 60 minutes and you'll never address it again. I'd never heard that aspect related before.Another revelation was back during the Cold War with Russia. The 60 min producers had talked their way into Russia and met with a top military general. They start talking about nuclear war, bunkers etc, and to terribly summarize, they conversation leads to the general showing the members of 60 min the arsenal and when asked, answered that yes, they would sit down and have a conversation with the US. The result--incredibly--was that this moment on television opened up a dialogue with the US that included bi-directional visits to some of each countries nuclear sites.The snippets of fact and finnesse of the 60 min crew is worth every dime spent on this, new or used, hard copy or ebook. Fifty Years of 60 Minutes: The Inside Story of Television's Most Influential News Broadcast ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it *by T***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2022* Great book. I've always been a fan of 60 Minutes. Brings back memories. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read Chronologically! *by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2018* This book is composed of five chapters, one for each decade of 60 Minutes broadcasts. For some unexplained reason, the decades are ordered #3, #1, #2, #4 and #5. I had a difficult time starting the read in Decade 3 (1988 to 1998), so I read the chapters in chronological order and found it to be much more interesting and sensible that way. I would strongly recommend this approach for others as well.Being a big fan of 60 Minutes over the years, I thoroughly enjoyed the show's ups, downs and very poignant behind the scenes story lines. A must read for prospective journalists. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48900924-fifty-years-of-60-minutes-the-inside-story-of-televisions](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48900924-fifty-years-of-60-minutes-the-inside-story-of-televisions) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
