History Is Made of These
summary
A roll call of hard journalism: accounts of first interview with Saddam Hussein, repeated long sitdowns with Assad and Chavez, and a story where an interview led to freed American hikers after a public pledge; method is relentless preparation and a Q&A that aims for headlines, often lasting four to five hour interviews. Views include support for some U.S. on-the-ground special-ops against ISIS, cautious approval of the Iran deal, China as the rising power, and Putin’s advance into Ukraine.
