Goldman, Peter

Peter Goldman spent most of his professional life as an award-winning national affairs writer and senior editor at "Newsweek", where he specialized in politics, race, and criminal justice.

Goldman is the author of ten nonfiction books, including the best-selling "Charlie Company: What Vietnam Did to Us". A "Wall Street Journal" critic once called Goldman "perhaps the best writer in American journalism."

"The Shape-Shifters" is Goldman's second novel, and a follow-up to "The Last Minstrel Show". He delights in merging and stretching multiple genres in his work.
