Book Description
 
From beloved CBS Sunday Morning correspondent and humorist Mo Rocca, an entertaining and
rigorously researched book that celebrates the dead people who have long fascinated him.Mo
Rocca has always loved obituaries—reading about the remarkable lives of global leaders,
Hollywood heavyweights, and innovators who changed the world. But not every notable life has
gotten the send-off it deserves. His quest to right that wrong inspired Mobituaries, his #1 hit
podcast. Now with Mobituaries, the book, he has gone much further, with all new essays on
artists, entertainers, sports stars, political pioneers, founding fathers, and more. Even if you know
the names, you’ve never understood why they matter...until now. Take Herbert Hoover: before he
was president, he was the “Great Humanitarian,” the man who saved tens of millions from
starvation. But after less than a year in the White House, the stock market crashed, and all the
good he had done seemed to be forgotten. Then there’s Marlene Dietrich, well remembered as a
screen goddess, less remembered as a great patriot. Alongside American servicemen on the front
lines during World War II, she risked her life to help defeat the Nazis of her native Germany. And
what about Billy Carter and history’s unruly presidential brothers? Were they ne’er-do-well
liabilities…or secret weapons? Plus, Mobits for dead sports teams, dead countries, the dearly
departed station wagon, and dragons. Yes, dragons. Rocca is an expert researcher and
storyteller. He draws on these skills here. With his dogged reporting and trademark wit, Rocca
brings these men and women back to life like no one else can. Mobituaries is an insightful and
unconventional account of the people who made life worth living for the rest of us, one that asks
us to think about who gets remembered, and why.
