Books by John Brooks

John Brooks (1920–1993) was an American journalist and author who wrote about business and finance for The New Yorker for over three decades. He was known for applying literary standards of narrative and psychological depth to corporate reporting at a time when business journalism rarely aspired to either. Beyond Business Adventures, his books include The Go-Go Years, a history of the 1960s bull market, and Telephone, a history of AT&T. He received the Gerald Loeb Award for business journalism and served as president of the Authors Guild. Business Adventures was out of print for many years before Bill Gates's recommendation revived it in 2014.
