Andrew Aitken Rooney (January 14, 1919 - November 4, 2011) was an American radio and television writer who was best known for his weekly broadcast "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney", a part of the CBS News program 60 Minutes from 1978 to 2011. His final regular appearance on 60 Minutes aired on October 2, 2011. Rooney was decorated with the Bronze Star Medal and Air Medal for his service as a war correspondent in combat zones during the war. His 1995 memoir My War chronicles his war reporting and recounts several notable historical events and people from a firsthand view, including the entry into Paris and the Nazi concentration camps. He describes how it shaped his experience both as a writer and reporter. CBS refused to broadcast his World War II memoir entitled "An Essay on War" in 1970, so Rooney quit CBS and read the opinion himself on PBS, which was his first appearance on television. That show won him his third Writers Guild Award. As a young correspondent for The Stars and Stripes, Andy Rooney flew bomber missions, arrived in France after the D-Day invasion, was in Paris for the Liberation, crossed the Rhine with the Allied forces, and was one of the first reporters into Buchenwald. My War is the story of a writer learning the craft of journalism. It is moving, suspenseful, and reflective. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Rooney, commentator on 60 Minutes, here with sardonic self-effacement relates how he became a notable combat journalist in WWII, a war he calls ``the ultimate experience for anyone in it.'' For the Army newspaper Stars and Stripes, he covered the air war over Germany, the D-Day invasion of Normandy and the Allied drive into Germany. Rooney's simple style--``The long slow death spiral of a bomber with its crew on board is a terrible thing to see''--grips the reader as he describes famous events of the war: the liberation of Paris, the Battle of the Bulge, the stirring union of American and Russian troops at the German town of Torgau on the Elbe. The author states that ``This is a memoir, not a history book,'' and he goes on to say that though he checked his facts in writing it, he assumes that when they conflict with memory, the facts must be wrong.
