Russ appeared on C-SPAN2′s Book TV program and read some passages from Family of Secrets to a live audience at BookPeople in Austin, Texas.
He also answered some interesting questions about why the book is relevant to current events and what its primary lessons are. Don’t miss out on the discussion, which begins at the 36:45 mark.
Japan Times today ran a review of “W.”, the Oliver Stone movie, and gave it 3 out of 5 stars for being too mild and not revealing enough. The reviewer, Giovanni Fazio, concludes by urging readers to follow the movie up with Russ’s very own Family of Secrets:
Much of the film appears to be based on books by Ron Suskind, Bob Woodward, Ronald Kessler, Scott McClellan and others, and that is the film’s weakest point: All this stuff has been discussed endlessly over the past few years, and “W.” contains no surprises. Viewers seeking the vast rightwing conspiracy of “JFK” — not to mention its groundbreaking stylistic construction — will be disappointed. “Family of Secrets,” by reporter Russ Baker, should satisfy that urge, with a boatload of wild allegations that come tantalizingly close to being proven.
David Wilk, the host of WritersCast, recently interviewed Russ on his podcast program. The segment covered several important topics in Family of Secrets, including George W. Bush’s rise to power and Watergate, as well as Russ’s approach to writing the book.
