Griese, Noel L. Arthur W. Page: Publisher, Public Relations Pioneer, Patriot. Anvil Publishers.

Interested in public relations or book publishing? Arthur W. Page, regarded as the father or corporate public relations, had distinguished careers in both. He joined the publishing house of Doubleday, Page & Co. in 1905. He edited the World's Work magazine and was responsible for the nonfiction side of the book publishing business. He left in 1926 to become the first public relations vice president of AT&T, then America's largest corporation. Among other career highlights, he oversaw troop information for the Normandy Invasion, and wrote the news release announcing the first military use of the atom bomb at Hiroshima, selected by journalists as the most important story of the 20th century.

"Arthur Page, an in-house public relations adviser to AT&T from the 1920's through the 1940's, embraced the concept of good corporate citizenship and pushed AT&T to be open and honest in its press dealings. The tension between proponents of Bernays-like manipulation and Page-style transparency has existed in the business ever since." - Timothy L. O'Brien, New York Times, Feb. 13, 2005.

Jaffe, Jacob. Hobgoblins. iUniverse, 2006

A cabal of unscrupulous financiers secretly fund a presidential candidate who plans to double-cross them to become an American Hitler. Only three people can thwart these plots: a psychologist who once treated the candidate, a muck-raking journalist and the person who is the source of the hobgoblin nightmares that haunt both the presidential candidate and the psychologist.  Says Kirkus Discoveries Review: "Paranoia and politics intertwine in this perceptive thriller... Dr. Jaffe, a former psychology professor, draws a sharply observed, often hilarious portrait of clinical psychology. (The psychologist) is an unusual and appealing hero... he seems like Woody Allen stuck in a remake of The Manchurian Candidate."
