Book description
The first book-length biography of Dave Garroway (1913-1982), the first host of NBC's Today show. Known for his warm, whimsical, slightly offbeat style, the bespectacled, bowtied Garroway was one of the most popular personalities in radio and television from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, as much a symbol of NBC as the Peacock. But after his abrupt departure from Today in 1961, Garroway's numerous attempts at a second act fell short, as new tastes in a rapidly-changing medium left him behind. In his personal life, Garroway fought lengthy struggles against Dexedrine addiction and severe, chronic depression. Featuring revealing, never-before-shared insights from his son David, Peace tells the Dave Garroway story in full, using exhaustive research, personal insights and careful analysis to detail the professional triumphs, the tragedies, and the personal struggles that made up a pioneering career and a remarkable life.
