Tim Russert's #1 bestseller about his dad-now available in paperback. Over the last two decades. Tim Russert has become one of the most trusted and admired figures in American television journalism. Throughout his career he has spent time with presidents and popes, world leaders and newsmakers, celebrities and sports heroes, but one person stands out from the rest in terms of his strength of character, modest grace, and simple decency�Russert's dad, Big Russ.In this warm, engaging memoir, Russert casts a fond look back to the 1950s Buffalo neighborhood of his youth. In the close-knit, Irish-Catholic community where he grew up, doors were left unlocked at night; backyard ponds became makeshift ice hockey rinks in winter; and streets were commandeered as touch football fields in the fall. And he recalls the extraordinary example of his father, a WWII veteran who worked two jobs without complaint for thirty years and taught his children to appreciate the values of self-discipline, of respect, of loyalty to friends. Russert recalls the dedicated teachers who stimulated his imagination and intellect, sparking a lifelong passion for politics and journalism, and inspired a career that took him from editor of the elementary school newspaper to moderator of Meet the Press. This #1 bestseller proved that readers everywhere will laugh, cry, and identify with the lessons of life taught by the indomitable Big Russ.

I purchased 3 cd audio books for my husband and brothers. I very much enjoyed Tim Russert reading his story of the relationship he developed with his Dad and later on in life, with his son. The story took me back to my younger years, which were the 60?s, and the turbulent times of that era. Many of the family situations he and his Dad encountered reminded me of my own family at that period in time. I would recommend this book to anyone who values the relationship between a son and father or who anticipates becoming a father. Truly sad that Tim Russert passed away, way before his time.

Great read !!!
This is another of those "hard to put it down" books. What did I enjoy about it? Probably the most important thing was the relationship Tim Russert had with his father. There are many instances we can all relate to. I plan to recommend the book to my Son in hopes he'll retain some ideas for the rearing of our grandson. I have a new respect for the author after reading the book and learning about his life...even though I was already a regular viewer of his TV news program. My wife is currently reading and enjoying the book. After reading the book you will know Tim Russert.
