Culture Warrior (25 page)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Unlike many high-profile people, I write my books myself. But no one can complete a manuscript alone. My editor for many years, Charles Flowers, continues his brilliance in this publication. Broadway Books's best editor, Gerry Howard, keeps an eye on me and Flowers with style and wit.

Since I am incapable of negotiating a computer, my wife, Maureen, routinely stops my bad language and presses the buttons that need to be pressed. Also, Makeda Wubneh continues to provide me with the best research on earth.

My literary agent, Eric Simonoff, is a great sounding board, as is the top guy at Broadway, Steve Rubin. Thankfully, the boss at Fox News, Roger Ailes, continues to lend me perspective. Every time I tell Ailes that I have another idea for a book, he rolls his eyes. But he's always been supportive, and, obviously, that's a huge help.

My broadcast agent, Carole Cooper, also continues to help me in ways far too numerous to mention. No way could I complete a project like this without her help and counsel.

So that's the C-W team. And believe me, it's a winner.
