Roone A Memoir

This was Roone Arledge as seen by one of his more illustrious contemporaries, Diane Sawyer. His great career of more than a half century mirrored the history of the television industry he helped create, and now, in Roone, he has left us his pungent, up-close-and-personal account of both stories, of his own rise to fame and power as the head of ABC Sports and News - Life magazine would call him one of the "100 Most Important Americans of the 20th Century" - and of the many people, foes as well as friends, whose paths he crossed.
