Authors on tonight’s Tavis Smiley:
Investment banker, Rhodes scholar, and former aide to Condoleezza Rice Wes Moore discusses The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates (Spiegel & Grau, 978-0385528191, $25; RH Audio unabridged CD, $35). PW starred its review: “Moore writes with subtlety and insight about the plight of ghetto youth, viewing it from inside and out; he probes beneath the pathologies to reveal the pressures—poverty, a lack of prospects, the need to respond to violence with greater violence—that propelled the other Wes to his doom. The result is a moving exploration of roads not taken.”
The Council on Foreign Relations' Isobel Coleman, author of Paradise Beneath Her Feet: How Women Are Transforming the Middle East (Random House, 978-1400066957, $26).
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon hosts matchmakers Steven Ward and and his mother JoAnn Ward, authors of Crash Course in Love (VH1, 978-1439177334, $17.99).
