Who is Peter Apps?

Writing about the possibility of war demands a particular nerve: enough alarm to be taken seriously, enough restraint to be believed. The Next World War sits squarely on the politics and society shelf and takes nearly thirteen hours to make its case, which tells you at once that it is analysis rather than provocation.

Peter Apps reads the work personally, and that decision suits the material. Books of this kind gain something when the argument is voiced by the person who assembled the evidence: emphasis lands where the author intended it to, and the caveats keep their proper weight instead of being flattened by a hired reader working from a script.

Peter Apps in audiobooks

Twelve hours and change is a serious commitment, but long form political non-fiction rewards it: each chapter builds on the one before, and skipping is a false economy. Peter Apps narrates throughout in a measured, unhurried register that never reaches for drama the evidence has not earned.

Early listener scores are unusually high, though drawn from a small pool so far. Best approached in substantial sessions, with something to hand for note taking if that is your habit. The full details are listed below.
