An insightful look at the life and career of America’s most famous former mayor.
Both a controversial figure and rising political star, Rudolph Giuliani is a leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. This revealing oral biography chronicles his political and personal evolution, featuring interviews with political insiders, colleagues, friends, and critics. From Giuliani’s difficult boyhood in Brooklyn and his controversy-fraught tenure as public prosecutor to his eight years as the headline-grabbing mayor of the "ungovernable" city of New York, his near political demise followed by an amazing comeback in the wake of 9/11, and his current career as an international business leader, the book offers a multifaceted portrait that lets readers decide for themselves who Rudy Giuliani really is.
