Washington, DC: Regnery Publishing, Inc., 1997. Second Printing. Hardcover. 24 cm. xxii, 392, [2] pages. Illustrations (mostly color). Appendices. Index. Foreword by Vincent Bugliosi. Signed by the author. Fuhrman's account of what happened to Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, and the O J. Simpson trial. Mark Fuhrman (born February 5, 1952) is a former detective of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). He is primarily known for his part in the investigation of the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in the O. J. Simpson murder case. In 1995, Fuhrman was called to testify regarding his discovery of evidence in the Simpson case, including a bloody glove recovered at Simpson's estate. During the trial, claims were made that Fuhrman frequently used a racist epithet toward African Americans during the 1980s, which Fuhrman denied. In response, Simpson's defense team produced recorded interviews with Fuhrman and witnesses showing that he had repeatedly used racist language during this period. As a result, the defense claimed that Fuhrman had committed perjury and was not a credible witness. The credibility of the prosecution has been cited as one reason Simpson was acquitted. Fuhrman retired from the LAPD in 1995. Fuhrman believes that Simpson is guilty of the murders and places blame for his acquittal on the lead detectives' failure to enter evidence into the chain of custody and the prosecution's failure to adequately argue their case. Since his retirement from the LAPD, Fuhrman has written true crime books and hosted talk radio. More

New York: Hyperion, 2002. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xvii, [1], 407, [5] pages. Inscribed to Ben by the author on the title page. Includes Preface, Appendices, Acknowledgments, and Index. In detailing his principles of leadership, Giuliani tells captivating stories that are personal as well as prescriptive: how he learned the importance of staying calm in the face of attack from his father's boxing lessons--as well as the need to stand up to bullies; how a love of reading was early instilled in him by his mother and grew into a determination to master new subjects, and not rely only on the word of experts; how, in his recent fight with prostate cancer, learning to make decisions at the right time and with the right information reflected decision-making on a larger scale. Leadership, Giuliani writes, is a privilege, but it carries responsibilities--from imposing a structure suitable to an organization's purpose, to forming a team of people who bring out the best in each other, to taking the right, unexpected risks. A leader must develop strong beliefs, articulate and act on those beliefs, and be held accountable for the results. Leadership (published October 1, 2002) is a book written by Rudolph W. Giuliani with Ken Kurson about Giuliani's time as Mayor of New York City and how he reduced crime, and revitalized the economy of the city. Most of the book was written before the September 11, 2001 attacks, though Giuliani did include a section about his experiences that day and how he dealt with the emergency and the cleanup afterwards.

New York: Miramax Books, 2002. First Edition [stated]. Seventh Printing. Hardcover. xvii, [1], 407, [3] pages. Appendices. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Bookplate on half-title page is signed by the author (Rudy Giuliani). Rudolph William Louis "Rudy" Giuliani (born May 28, 1944) is an American lawyer, businessman, public speaker, and former mayor of New York City. Politically a Democrat, then an Independent in the 1970s, and a Republican since the 1980s, Giuliani was the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York during the 1980s. Giuliani prosecuted pivotal cases against the American Mafia, and against corrupt corporate financiers. During his first term as mayor of New York City, Giuliani hired a new police commissioner, William Bratton, who applied the broken windows theory of urban decay, which holds that minor disorders and violations leads to further and more serious crimes that can threaten the safety of a city. Within several years, Giuliani was widely credited for lowering the rate of violent crimes. Giuliani was named Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2001, and was given an honorary knighthood in 2002 by Queen Elizabeth II for his leadership in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001.

Ronald Goldfarb is a Washington, D.C. attorney, author, and literary agent. In 1961, Goldfarb was recruited to join the New Frontier. He was a member of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy's Organized Crime and Racketeering Section of the Department of Justice for almost four years, and conducted grand jury investigations and successful multi-defendant criminal trials in federal courts in Florida, Kentucky, and Ohio. For several months in 1964, the Justice Department delegated Goldfarb to the Presidential Task Force which created the Office of Economic Opportunity under the guidance of Sargent Shriver. When Robert F. Kennedy ran for the U.S. Senate in New York, he recruited Goldfarb to work on that campaign as a speech writer. He resigned from the Justice Department to do so. Goldfarb's book, Perfect Villains, Imperfect Heroes, about those Justice Department experiences was published in 1995. More
