Phoenix Books Set to Release Obama, Madoff Titles in Response to Recent Breaking-News Events
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ --Beverly Hills publisher Phoenix Books will release two new titles this spring about two of the biggest headline-grabbing figures in today's news: President-elect Barack Obama and Bernard Madoff, the mastermind who perpetrated the largest Ponzi scheme of all time. Both books will hit stores in March 2009.
The Obama Revolution by 24-year-old Alan Kennedy-Shaffer, an inside campaigner for the President-elect, is an in-the-trenches look at Obama's campaign, ascent to power, and plans for the future, offering a "Generation Change"-inspired take on how Obama will bring hope and change to America.
Catastrophe: The Story of Bernard L. Madoff, The Man Who Swindled the World by Deborah and Gerald Strober will be the first biography of the notorious financier to hit stores. Ripped from the headlines, Catastrophe presents Bernie Madoff's real story, including his confession, unlikely rise, and incredible crash, as well as the stories of the countless organizations and individuals he bilked out of more than $50 billion.
"The publishing industry has been hit hard by the recession," says Phoenix Books president Michael Viner, "but since we're small, we can get these books to market quickly without affecting other scheduled releases--that's our niche."
