Milton's Marilyn |
 |
Kotsilibas-Davis James
1998 |
Marilyn Monroe's
confidante, business partner, artistic consultant and dear friend, Milton
H.Greene was also one of his era's most sought after celebrity
photographers. His proximity to Marilyn enabled him to capture images of
her in poses and attitudes inaccessible to the hundreds of other
photographers who pursued this engaging beauty. Now available for the
first time in a mini-hardcover edition, the photographs in this rich and
dynamic volume comprise what are undoubtedly the most remarkable portraits
ever taken of Marilyn Monroe. |
My Story |
 |
Exner Judith
1977 |
For 15
yrs, Judith Exner kept a tight lid on her secret love affair with John
F.Kennedy in the White House - until a Senate investigation smeared the
story across the nation's front pages. In 1977 Mrs Exner, after years of
FBI harassment, broke her silence with this book, revealing her story -
tender, intimate and unvarnished - of a passionate romance between a
stunningly beautiful Los Angeles girl and the charismatic President of the
United States, and of her close ties to Mafia chieftain Sam Giancana.

My week with
Marilyn |
 |
Clark Colin
2011 |
In 1956, fresh from Oxford, the 23-year-old
Colin Clark (brother of maverick Tory MP and diarist Alan) worked as a
humble 'gofer' on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, the film that
disastrously united Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe. This is the
story of when Clark escorted a Monroe desperate to escape from the
pressures of stardom. How he ended up sharing her bed is a tale too rich
to summarise! Clark's extraordinary experiences on and off set have now
been turned into a major film starring Michelle Williams, Eddie Redmayne,
Judi Dench, Emma Watson, Kenneth Branagh and Dominic Cooper. |
Nixon - A Life |
 |
Aitken Jonathan
1993 |
The
rise, fall and rebirth of Richard Nixon is perhaps the most fascinating
story in American politics. Presidential chronicles and other outside
sources have tried to capture it in full, but "Nixon: A life" is the first
to succeed.
This book is the first entirely objective biography of Richard Nixon.
Jonathan Aitken conducted over sixty hours of interviews with Nixon and
was granted unprecedented access to thousands of pages of Nixon's
previously sealed private documents. |

Passion for Truth |
 |
Specter Arlen
2001 |
From
finding JFK's Single Bullet to questioning Anita Hill to impeaching
Clinton.
In thus brutally honest book, Senator Specter analyzes these and other
controversies, assessing each through both a legal and historical lens.
Throughout, he tells the truth, naming names, identifying where the system
worked and where it failed - and even admitting to his own mistakes. Arlen
Specter brings all these events to life, taking the reader into the
courtroom, the cloakroom, and the Senate Chamber, and offers a clear and
honest vision for reforming the way Main Street and Wall Street are
governed. |

Frankenheimer John

America into a "Great Society" of equal opportunity. Instead, he became

drama of soaring ambition and shattered dreams, set inside the LBJ White
House in the volatile years leading up to and during Vietnam. |
