Great books by APB Speakers!

APB is proud to represent a wide variety of accomplished speakers including brilliant authors. Some of our authors are critically-acclaimed, best-sellers, and Pulitzer award-winning. A few of these authors have recently come out with books you just won’t want to miss. Here are a few of our favorite choices that we think you would really like along with a short description of the author and book.

The first book we recommend is written by one of the most influential and widely read intellectuals in the United States, Dr. Marable. He explores the issues of black leadership and politics, culture, and society. Check out his most recent book - Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention, which sheds new light on Malcolm X’s assassination.

Another great book to check out is Barcott’s memoir It Happened on the Way to War: A Marine’s Path to Peace. Barcott is an inspirational marine, social entrepreneur and author. In his latest memoir, he explores the contrasts between waging peace and fighting war in a true story of sacrifice, courage and the powerful melding of military and humanitarian service.

Nader is a consumer advocate, former Green Party candidate for President and not afraid to speak his mind and stand up to some of the most powerful political leaders. His recent book is the fictional Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!, a novel that asks, “What if some of America’s wealthiest decided to work for the common good?”

Another political figure with an interesting book is Parag Khanna. A foreign policy advisor to President Obama during his historic campaign, Khanna’s latest book How to Run the World provides bold and innovative strategies to global, political and economic stability.

Lastly, make sure not to miss a New York Times best-seller by Brad Meltzer. In his latest thriller The Inner Circle, Meltzer takes the genre to a breathtaking new level. Extensively researched, fast-paced, and packed with insight, his fiction sets one foot in reality and one foot in the thrill of possibility.
