Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power is a 2005 non-fiction book by Mary Mapes, published by St. Martin's Press.
It is her account of her time at CBS News during the Iraq War and a series of events which resulted in her losing her job. She had covered the Abu Ghraib scandal. She also had produced a program on President of the United States George W. Bush's record in military service, but it was revealed that the program relied on forged documents. That was the Killian documents controversy.
Reception
Jonathan Alter in The New York Times described the book as "high-spirited, if overwrought and self-serving".
Dave Denison of the Texas Observer wrote that the book appears like it is "conducting a kind of public therapy" to deal with Mapes' feelings, and then in the final 33% it becomes "a surprisingly compelling brief." Denison stated that people who are involved in politics and journalism covering politics will find the book useful.
Release
James Vanderbilt received a copy of the work with a personal message from Mapes.
Adaptations
The film Truth was based on the memoir.
