Peter Petre (www.peterpetre.com) co-wrote Arnold Schwarzenegger’s memoir Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, a New York Times bestseller published in 2012. Mr. Petre also co-authored Alan Greenspan’s memoir The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World, a No. 1 New York Times bestseller in 2007. Michael Kinsley noted in a New York Times review of the book, “Not only can Greenspan discourse lucidly on economic matters, but he has also written the most unexpectedly charming Washington insider memoir since Katharine Graham's a decade ago.”
Mr. Petre has co-authored two other bestsellers: General H. Norman Schwarzkopf’s It Doesn’t Take A Hero and Thomas J. Watson, Jr.’s Father, Son & Co.: My Life at IBM and Beyond. The Los Angeles Times called the Schwarzkopf memoir “a fine and lucid book, teeming with vitality …. Schwarzkopf is a compelling storyteller.” Writing about Father, Son & Co. in the New York Times, Joe Nocera declared it “the only great ghost-written CEO autobiography ever .... No one else — not even Lee Iacocca or Jack Welch — even comes close.
