Today on The Bob Edwards Show, Pakistani journalist Imtiaz Gul described The Most Dangerous Place: Pakistan's Lawless Frontier (Viking, 978-0670022250, $26.95; Tantor unabridged CD, $34.99). PW wrote “Gul’s disorganized but readable account doesn’t alter the conventional picture of the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier, but he offers a useful scorecard for the struggle to bring order to the region--and shows how difficult and perhaps even unrealizable it is.”
The Joy Behar Show hosts Lisa Lillien, whose new book is Hungry Girl Happy Hour: 75 Recipes for Amazingly Fantastic Guilt-Free Cocktails and Party Foods (St. Martin’s Griffin; 978-0312621032, $14.99). Tomorrow, she’ll visit the Saturday Early Show.
Authors on this weekend’s Book TV programs include:
Boston University law professor Jay Wexler, author of Holy Hullabaloos: A Road Trip to the Battlegrounds of the Church/State Wars (Beacon Press, 978-0807000441, $20), which PW’s starred review called “a rare treat, a combination of thoughtful analysis and quirky humor that illuminates an issue that rarely elicits a laugh—and that is central to the American body politic.”
John Authers, Financial Times investment editor and author of The Fearful Rise of Markets: Global Bubbles, Synchronized Meltdowns, and How To Prevent Them in the Future (FT Press, 978-0137072996, $24.99).
