The Perseus Books Group Monthly Newsletter - March 2010

The Monthly Newsletter for the Independent Reader March 2010 We end this month with a couple of bombshells: One a memoir by the incomparable Raquel Welch and the other by controversial war veteran Matt Gallagher. Both are riveting and revealing. We take a look at the volatility of power plays in the streets of Mexico and the Middle East as explained by award winning journalists and take some sage advice shared by well-known entrepreneurs to help achieve successful business goals. Plus there's much, much more. Thanks for reading!
