Here is the Library of Congress annotation:
“The Pulitzer Prize-winning co-author of All the President’s Men, reflects on his formative years as a teenage newspaper reporter at the Washington Star and the subsequent trajectory of his career. He discusses covering grisly crimes, political rallies, the civil rights movement, and more.”

All of this in spite of not having a college degree in journalism. So, he was refused advancement by the Washington Star due to no degree. However, later Bernstein was hired on by the Washington Post and as they say, the rest was history. Read it! You just might like it.
