Brokaw signs two-book deal

NEW YORK -- Tom Brokaw has signed a two-book deal with Random House, the publisher announced Monday, although what the former NBC anchor will actually write and when the books will be published remain unknown.

Random House publicist Tom Perry said Brokaw, author of best sellers such as "The Greatest Generation" and "The Greatest Generation Speaks," was considering "various projects," but wouldn't provide details. No publication dates have been set.

In any case, both Brokaw and his editor at Random House, Kate Medina, issued celebratory statements Monday.

"The response to 'The Greatest Generation' and the books that followed has been one of the most satisfying experiences of my life," Brokaw said.

"Tom Brokaw's previous books struck a chord that reverberated across the nation," Medina added. "I know that as Tom moves on to his next projects he will continue to define and expand upon our understanding of the American experience."
