"Former New York Times managing editor Arthur Gelb has written a captivating memoir of his nearly half-century with the Paper of Record.
An insider's look at the latter half of the 20th century from the perspective of one of the busiest newsrooms in the world, City Room is a primer for anyone who has even thought of making a career in journalism and a fascinating romp through America's world emergence for the rest of us.
