Well, maybe it was when compared to other biographies and autobiographies of that year...? Maybe not?
This was told as an up-by-his-own-bootstraps story. While it mentioned in passing that Baker's uncle was the long-time editor of the New York Times, the book never addressed whether that helped his career. And he told no insidey stories. It seemed like the Pulitzer was a payoff for keeping his mouth shut.
edit: In contrast Sy Hersh's autobiography,
Reporter, really is an up-by-his-bootstraps story, and says a lot about the craft of journalism. If he wins a (second) Pulitzer for that, I will take it all back.

When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn; when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse to buy me, and snaps the purse shut; when death comes like the measle-pox when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades, I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering: what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness? And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I look upon time as no more than an idea, and I consider eternity as another possibility, and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular, and each name a comfortable music in the mouth, tending, as all music does, toward silence, and each body a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth. When it's over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. When it's over, I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument. I don't want to end up simply having visited this world
