Paul Harvey's America: The Life, Art, and Faith of a Man Who Transformed Radio and Inspired a Nation
New York Times best selling biographer Stephen Mansfield and coauthor David A. Holland present a fascinating look at America’s most popular radio host. You’ll discover how the brutal murder of his father shaped Paul Harvey’s life and career; how a high school teacher helped launch him in radio; the truth behind his brief and controversial career in the Air Force; why he was arrested for breaking into a secure research laboratory during the Cold War; why he proposed to his wife, “Angel,” on their very first date—and why it took her a year to say yes; the important role of faith in his life; and how his immeasurable contributions to broadcast history transformed American culture.

About the author
Stephen Mansfield
96 books158 followersStephen Mansfield is a New York Times bestselling author and a popular speaker who is becoming one of the nation’s most respected voices on religion and American culture. He is also an activist in a variety of social causes.
Stephen was born in Georgia but grew up largely in Europe due to his father’s career as an officer in the United States Army. After a youth filled with sports, travel, and mischief, he was recruited to play college football but turned down the opportunity when a Christian conversion moved him to attend a leading Christian college.
He earned a Bachelor’s degree in history and philosophy and then moved to Texas where he pastored a church, completed two Master’s degrees, hosted a radio show and began acquiring a reputation as a popular speaker of both depth and humor. He moved to Tennessee in 1991 where he again pastored a church, did relief work among the Kurds in Northern Iraq, served as a political consultant, and completed a doctorate.
It was during this time that he also launched the writing career for which he has become internationally known. His first book on Winston Churchill was a Gold Medallion Award Finalist. He also wrote widely-acclaimed biographies of Booker T. Washington and George Whitefield as well as a number of other books on history and leadership. In 1997, the Governor of Tennessee commissioned Mansfield to write the official history of religion in Tennessee for that state’s bicentennial.
In 2002, Stephen left the pastorate after twenty fruitful years to write and lecture full-time. Not long afterward he wrote The Faith of George W. Bush, which spent many weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and won numerous national awards. The book also became a source for Oliver Stone’s internationally acclaimed film W, which chronicled Bush’s rise to the presidency.
This international bestseller led to a string of influential books over the following eight years. Stephen wrote The Faith of the American Soldier after being embedded with U.S. troops in Iraq. He also wrote about the new Pope in Benedict XVI: His Life and Mission. His book The Faith of Barack Obama was another international bestseller and was often a topic in major media during the presidential campaign of 2008. To answer the crumbling values of portions of corporate America, he wrote The Search for God and Guinness and soon found himself speaking to corporate gatherings around the world.
Stephen continues to write books about faith and culture—recently on topics like Sarah Palin, Oprah Winfrey and America’s generals—but beyond his writing career he has founded The Mansfield Group, a successful consulting and communications firm, as well as Chartwell Literary Group, a firm that creates and manages literary projects. Together with his wife, Beverly, Mansfield has created The Global Leadership Development Fund, a foundation that sponsors leadership training and networking around the world.
In recent years, Stephen’s popularity as a speaker has nearly eclipsed his reputation as a bestselling author. He is often to be found addressing a university gathering, a corporate retreat or a fundraising banquet and stirring his audience with the humor and storytelling that have become his trademark.
Mansfield lives primarily in Nashville, Tennessee, with his beloved wife, Beverly, who is an award-winning songwriter and producer. For more information, log onto MansfieldGroup.com.

Great book about a real American hero. Some things I like about him: from Tulsa, married 68 years, loved his work, high standard of excellence. Harvey said of his marriage, "...each were too busy rowing to rock the boat." His wife, Angel, was a journalist when they met, even more successful at the time. She was a strong advisor to Harvey throughout his career, on job moves, endorsements, and all aspects of his work. Their son also became a journalist. Quotes: "Men don't do big things for small rewards." "Just by turning to the left, the world has gone in circles."

Paul Harvey has been one of my favorite broadcasters. When he passed away, it was very hard for me, and this book really give me an insight into his life, and how he got into radio.
If you're a big Paul Harvey fan, and loved his programs like the rest of the story, this book is the right choice for you to read.

How I miss hearing him on the radio for "the rest of the story"!
July 9, 2017
How well I recall those childhood-through-high-school days: "Good morning, Americans! This is Paul Harvey. Stand by ... for news!" My maternal grandmother introduced me at a young age. My parents and every adult I knew listened with rapt attention to the man with the golden voice and matching ability to command attention. My ears were perked up, and after a short sponsor's ad, those wonderful, newsworthy, tragic and humorous stories would pour forth with minimalist language for 15 minutes, riveting with the telling. He left the listener free to draw his/her own conclusions. He was a master at his craft. And this short book is a well-told recount of the tip of the iceberg known as Paul Harvey. He was, and still is, a singular figure in the history of American news. A shaper, an influencer like no other.

An entertaining narrative of an American icon whom from my early years I could recognize the voice that appealed to a nation.

There are certain individuals whose voices are so instantly recognizable and so interconnected with my nostalgia for the America in which I grew up, that I feel an immediate sense of comfort upon hearing them. Paul Harvey is one of these "voices of my youth", and this is his story. You may remember him primarily for his "Rest of the Story" and "For What It's Worth" newscasts, or you may recall all the times that he celebrated his listeners' marriages of fifty-plus years. But throughout seventy years in radio, he witnessed wars, Presidential assassinations, American triumphs in medicine, technology, and space, and he reported it all with optimism and an unwavering belief in the goodness of this nation. This book will surprise you though! Did you ever imagine that Paul Harvey was arrested? I had no idea!
Quick read that will leave you smiling and nostalgic.

This was a wonderful read! I grew up listening to Paul Harvey's "Rest of the Story" on the radio and introduced my own children to him when they were young. We read both of his "Rest of the Story" books aloud and loved them. I picked this book up and was delighted to learn about the man behind the microphone! What a remarkable man of character! I was so touched to read about his 67 years of marriage to his precious wife and best friend, Angel, who worked by his side in radio all those years. This is an inspiring story of a God-fearing man of integrity who captured the hearts and minds of millions of Americans through the medium of radio.

I grew up listening to Paul Harvey's radio commentary on WLS, Chicago. Even as a grade school student his program was interesting, entertaining and informative. This book gives the reader some back ground info into this very complex man. He was truly one of broadcasting's greatest. If you are a fan, you will enjoy the book.

This book should be required reading for every High School Civics class.

Oh to have more Paul Harvey's in the world today....Simple, direct, motivated, charming and truthful.

Paul Harvey's voice acted as a peripheral, assuring gauge in my 70s & 80s childhood letting me know all was well in my little world. In adulthood when I tripped into the AM radio side of audio, his voice allowed me to stop scanning for programming. Unconsciously, I found what I was looking for - reassurance.
I loved this book for nostalgia alone, but it is also very well written and kept me engaged. When biographies tend towards bland and empty, I end up skimming most of the text. I read every word in Stephen Mansfield's book. It painted Paul Harvey as a multifaceted, complex, thinking individual with the good of mankind close to his heart and the purpose of his reporting. These same attributes made him misunderstood, but the author aims to untangled these misperceptions and set the record straight.
Here are my favorite quotes about and from Paul Harvey:
He didn't have much use for journalists who feigned objectivity while selectively reporting only facts that fit into their agendas. (Isn't a driving agenda the crux of journalism these days? Unbiased reporting is non-existent near as I can find.)
At first there appears to be nothing wrong with asking government to perform some extra service for you, but if you ask government for extra services, government in order to perform its increasing function, has to get bigger, right?...And the government gets bigger. And the individual gets littler. Until the government is all-powerful, and the individual is hardly anything at all. Until the government is all-powerful and the people are cattle. Paul Harvey
We wanted security. And they gave us chains. And we were "secure"... Paul Harvey
There's an election going on all the time. The Lord votes for you, the devil votes against you, and you cast the deciding vote. Paul Harvey
What is sure is that throughout the 1970s, he frequently dismayed his core fans and confounded his critics' attempts to pigeonhole him as a stereotypical conservative.

If you read this, you’ll learn what Newsman and Commentator Paul Harvey’s real name was. You’ll learn about his lifelong romance with Angel. The two were married for 68 years “on their way to forever together,” as Harvey used to say when he talked about other marriages marked by their longevity.
This is a relatively shallow look at Harvey’s life and some of its key junctures with history. You see his strong anticommunist opinions expressed throughout the ‘50s. He decries the moral collapse of the nation in the ‘60s and ‘70s, and he retains a close friendship with Ronald Reagan throughout Reagan’s presidency. It was not so close that the two men agreed on everything, and unlike many in media today, Harvey never allowed himself to fall into the thrall of politicians like Reagan to such a degree that he couldn’t objectively report the news.
Odds are high if you were born any time from 1989 and back, you remember the unparalleled style of the man who at noon six days a week encouraged you to “stand by … for news.”
If this book has a weakness, it is the relative shallowness of it. There must be better more exhaustive biographies out there. But this is a good start. You’ll blow through it in no time, and it will certainly bring back some memories. I would like to have seen more of Harvey’s essays transcribed for this book. His writing on farmers and fathers gets no real coverage here, and I can’t imagine a complete biography without those things. Sadly, this felt like a slaphappy deal with a publisher to get this out there as rapidly after Harvey died as possible. That’s probably not accurate, but it’s how it felt. Still, you shouldn’t let that stop you from reading this. You’ll enjoy the memories.

"My job is to make what is important interesting. And what is interesting, important." - Paul Harvey
THE voice of the 20th century, Paul Harvey, comes to life once again within the pages of this book. Equal parts biography and 20th century history, it is interesting to rediscover Paul Harvey's role in delivering interesting radio news and commentary... complete with the dramatic pauses. Did Paul Harvey shape the news of his day, or did the news shape Paul Harvey? This book presents both sides of that question, and it was refreshing to read about his personal life (and personal opinions) and how he stayed true to himself, his family, his faith, his small town values, and his listeners throughout his career. It was also interesting to learn that Paul wrote his own transcripts for radio, with the help of his wife and later, his son.
One of the coolest things about this book is that I could hear his voice as I read through the pages, and I appreciated the author for including several pieces of Harvey's actual radio transcripts. I also liked the present verb tense that is used throughout, bringing Paul back to the reader for a daily chat. As soon as I finished, I went straight to YouTube to listen to his voice once again. It's too bad that there isn't quite that type of daily radio commentator these days. He is missed.

Let's be very real, where are the Paul Harvey's of today? Probably censored, unfortunately.
This book rekindles our love for America and to protect her. This concept is all but lost on media outlets of today. Instead of every segment commenting on problems the government should fix, less government is what we need with more equipped, independent, and neighborly civilians who care and look out for one another.
A favorite quote:
Miss Harp, his influential teacher, to Paul Harvey: "Paul never feel resentment in your heart for those who have more than you. Just do all you can as long as you live to preserve this last wonderful land...in which any man willing to stand on his toes ...can reach for the stars."
I only gave a 3-star on this one, because while I have read many books by this author, I just didn't like the organization of this project. It was an over-abundance of information that jumped around too much. Particularly in the way every chapter began, there was a vagueness that didn't set each chapter up clearly.

Anyone growing up in the 1960s and 70s (or 50s) will fondly recall listening to Paul Harvey on the radio. He was always informative and entertaining to listen. His radio news program stood out from others of the time by the way he used certain inflections to emphasize a particular point and especially, how he perfected the art of pausing to give the listening time to digest what was just said.
This book reads like an autobiography although it is not. However, the book is well researched and referenced in telling the story of Paul's life from childhood to young adult and to him becoming a well recognized broadcaster.
The book provided information on his wife Angle and son, Paul Jr. Angle contributed to her husband's radio career in that she was a producer of his radio and television programs. Son Paul Jr. is credited by his script writing for his dad's "The Rest of the Story." His radio success was a true family affair.
I really enjoyed this book. It did not shy away from Paul Harvey's faults nor of the criticisms of his harshest critics.

It was an excellent book. I cried my way through parts of it, laughed my way through others. When I was a kid, it was quiet in the house time when Paul Harvey gave his five-minute news commentary. I enjoyed the radio broadcasts too, especially the "Rest of the Story". I doubt we will ever be blessed with a greater voice for the day's news and commentary.
The book is an easy read. It's not full of transcripts of Harvey's articles or talks, but there are a lot of quotes and a paragraph or two of his impressive volume of essays. No, it is more biographical in structure. It hits the highlights of his life and career. It was just enough for me, after recently reading a biography of Churchill that was nearly a thousand pages of small print. This edition was just over 200 pages.
I am not sure how this book will go over with the younger folks, but Paul Harvey was a household name for my generation, so I enjoyed every page.

I only know of Paul Harvey as the voice of "The Rest of the Story" so it was amazing to learn how lengthy and lucrative his radio career was, spanning almost eight decades. This is not a heavy tome, and I read it in a few days. The authors deliberately state that this book is not a biography, but rather a look at how Harvey's life, career, and attitudes influenced America, and vice versa. The authors are obviously huge fans of Harvey's work, and state frequently throughout the book how some of his opinions have been misconstrued and maligned. It was an interesting overview of the man's life and work, although I did start skimming a little bit in the last third.

Remembering Paul Harvey's influence in my life
I'm not even 60, but this book brought back so many wonderful memories filled with a sense of decency and common sense. Paul Harvey's broadcasts were simply a part of daily life that I took for granted. Reading about his life and the stories behind the scenes was a treat I didn't expect. I'm very grateful that he played such a significant part of American life for so many decades. Doubtless, we will never know the extent of the impact he had on countless lives - until we meet again for eternity.
Thank you, Paul Harvey!

I LOVED this book. I have read several by Stephen Mansfield and I have never been disappointed. Since, embarking on my broadcasting career I figured I should know something about the pioneer of broadcasting himself, Paul Harvey.
Mansfield does a great job of taking you through history via Harvey's eyes. I loved how Harvey credits his wife for a big part of his success. I love that he was an optimist and was a kindred spirit with Ronald Reagan.
I view this as a guidebook on how to be a better broadcaster and a better American.

Not too many takeaways on this one; very quick read
- $100M contract for 10years signed @ age 82 😳
- didn't agree to commercials unless he had tried the product and approved of it; held onto advertisers for decades
- not without drama; people thought he was a "draft dodger" b/c of his signing up for the "US Army Air Corps" thing and then being discharged months later
- interesting, QUICK read about Harvey's life
- he held so many conservative opinions on things but would stray from "the herd" on different issues occasionally, aggravating "true" conservatives

Nothing earth shattering but it does give you a brief look at what made the man tick and how his radio program took off. I found the story interesting about the time he was arrested and even though he didn't like Mccarthy he suspected there were spies in the USA. Later after the Iron curtain fell the reports were astonishing about the number of USSR agents were in upper levels of our government.

Excellent read!!
This one took me a while to get through, but it was well worth the read.
Paul Harvey loved America, so as a tribute to his patriotism, this book is jam-packed of tidbits from events he reported on. History isn't my strength, so it was a good review of the past 100 years.
My favorite Paul Harvey quote: "Americans, there's an election going on all the time. The Lord votes for you, the devil votes against you, and you cast the deciding vote."
An inspiring man of God.

There's hardly a day that goes by that I don't think about Paul Harvey when mid-day rolls around. I can still hear his voice as clearly as if it were being broadcast over the radio as I write this! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It gave me fascinating insight into his life, beliefs and background. This will be a book that I will read again!

Always liked hearing Paul Harvey on the radio. Nice little book that tells "the rest of the story." I was surprised at some things and totally expected other details. Nice walk down memory lane.

Awesome accidental find and so happy to have found this. Bought the hard copy for my parents to read as well. Major eye opener to the kind of man he was and his brilliance. History is in fact repeating itself.

A fascinating look at America’s most popular radio host. The book contains all events that shaped Paul Harvey’s life and career. Readers will come away wishing they knew him better and wishing we had more newscasters just like him to guide the American public.
