"Dispatches from the Edge", Cooper's memoirs about covering wars and disasters, topped The New York Times' best-seller list and other bestseller charts. In 2017, Cooper and his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, co-authored "The Rainbow Comes and Goes: A Mother and Son on Life, Love, and Loss" complied from a series of emails, the memoir recounts their shared past, and Vanderbilt's tumultuous childhood.
