Ron Suskind
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Ron Suskind has written some of America's most important works of nonfiction, framing national debates while exploring the complexities of human experience. He was the Wall Street Journal's senior national affairs reporter from 1993 until his departure in 2000, and won the 1995 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing. His previous works include the New York Times bestseller, "The Way of the World", about the forces fighting the global "hearts and minds" struggle; "The One Percent Doctrine", a signature work on how the U.S. government frantically improvised to fight a new kind of war after 9/11; and "The Price of Loyalty, George W. Bush, the White House and the Education of Paul O'Neill", a sweeping tour of the inner workings of the American government in the modern era. Mr. Suskind's latest book, "Confidence Men" (HarperCollins, $29.99), is the story of the fall of the U.S. economy, the rise of Barack Obama, and the President's harrowing battle to take control of his White House and earn the confidence of the American people. The book has spawned considerable debate regarding its portrayal of the President and a strong backlash from the White House. “A[n] authoritative window on the inner workings of the administration and a useful management primer on how not to run an organization . . .,” says Fortune. Come judge for yourself.
