Turmoil within 60 Minutes

A change in leadership at CBS and within the 60 Minutes team has roiled the he oldest and most-watched newsmagazine on television. Contentious meetings and abrupt firings of staff have caused many to question the long-term survivability of what has long been seen as the jewel in the crown of the CBS News Division. This list is made up of books about the history of 60 Minutes and titles by and about some of the current and former presenters and journalists who have worked on the show.
