Non-Fiction Biography

Jacko:His Rise and Fall is a detailed, well-crafted biography of Michael Jackson's rise to fame and his collapse of power.

Dripping with ironies, JACKO connects the myriad dots that Michael Jackson has "tattooed" into the world's consciousness. The first comprehensive and all-inclusive biography ever written about the world's most bizarre superstar, this powerful tome startles the reader with new revelations and photos about the Wizard of Odd.

"The King of Pop", Michael Jackson has been one of the most popular and controversial figure in the later part of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century. During his heyday in the 1980's, MJ generated fame greater than many of the world's leading political and religious figures, including the President of the U.S. Here is the complete story of Michael's successful music career and his troubled personal life. Jacko unlocks the doors and looks inside of his rocky childhood; rise to superstar status; the many controversial business deals; the unprecedented tabloid stories; personal scandals; family squabbles; sibling "tattle-telling" from Janet, LaToya and Germaine; the infamous court battles and lawsuits; his pending bankruptcy; the personal and alleged child abuse; and finally, his relationships with the Hollywood elite, like Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, and many, many more others.
