ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 27 /PRNewswire/ --
Who: Peter Jennings was the sole anchor of ABC's "World News Tonight"
from 1983 until his death from cancer in 2005. For many
Americans, he was the voice and face that gave shape and meaning
to every day's news. But who was Peter Jennings really? In
"Peter Jennings: A Reporter's Life," readers will get to know
Jennings through the memories of his friends, family,
competitors, colleagues and interview subjects. Co-edited by his
colleague at ABC News, Lynn Sherr, contributing editor to
PublicAffairs, Kate Darnton, and Jennings' wife and executive
vice president/co-founder of The Documentary Group, Kayce Freed
Jennings, they retrace every step of his career starting with
his first job in Canadian radio to his coverage of major events
like the 9/11 attacks. Their stories are full of surprises and
