Publisher Description
Now with an emotional afterword addressing 2011’s dramatic Conrad Murray trial, this sophisticated, no-holds-barred biography of Michael Jackson by his brother Jermaine is filled with keen insight, rich anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes detail.
Older than Michael by four years, Jermaine knows the real Michael as only a brother can. In this raw, honest, and poignant account, he reveals Michael the private person, not Michael “the King of Pop.” From their shared childhood and the Jackson 5 years through Michael’s phenomenal solo career, his loves, his suffering, and his tragic end, Jermaine doesn’t flinch from tackling the tough issues: the torrid press, the scandals, the allegations, the court cases, the internal politics, the ill-fated This Is It tour, and the disturbing developments in the days leading up to Michael’s death.
But where previous works have presented only thin versions of a media construct, Jermaine provides a rare glimpse into the complex heart, mind, and soul of a brilliant but sometimes troubled entertainer. As a witness to history on the inside, Jermaine is the only person qualified to deliver the real Michael and reveal what made him tick: his private opinions and unseen emotions through the most headline-making episodes of his life.
His hope is to foster a true and final understanding of Michael: who he was, what he was, and what shaped him.

A Must Read
This book gives another insight on Michael Jackson. As an MJ fan I am glad that I got this book...It's a fun read yet heartbreaking at times but overall a great read. You can feel the love and support of a brother.
No Photos in Ebook
Wow it was an excellent book but I was disgusted by the fact that Simon & schuster included 2 photos in the preview and went out of their way to include all the copyright IMHO on all the photos but didn't include any of the photos. I recommend you buy a hard copy of this book to read, don't enrich their coffers by downloading a book that talks about photos they didn't see fit to include.
