Giveaway: "Remember the Time"

"Remember the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson in His Final Days"
By Bill Whitfield and Jason Beard with Tanner Colby
Publisher: Weinstein Books

Release Date: June 3, 2013

Summary from goodreads:

Hounded by the tabloid media, driven from his self-made sanctuary at Neverland, Michael Jackson spent his final years moving from city to city, living with his three children in virtual seclusion—a futile attempt to escape a world that wouldn’t leave him alone. During that time, two men served as the singer’s personal security team: Bill Whitfield, a former cop and veteran of the security profession, and Javon Beard, a brash, untested rookie, both single fathers themselves.

Stationed at his side nearly 24/7, their job was to see and hear everything that transpired, and to keep everyone else out, making them the only two men who know what 60 million fans around the world still want to know: What really happened to the King of Pop?

Driven by a desire to show the world who Michael Jackson truly was, Whitfield and Beard have produced the only definitive, first-person account of Michael Jackson’s last years: the extreme measures necessary to protect Jackson and his family, the simple moments of happiness they managed to share in a time of great stress, the special relationship Jackson shared with his fans, and the tragic events that culminated in the singer’s ill-fated comeback, This Is It. The truth is far more compelling than anything you’ve yet heard.

An indispensable piece of pop-culture history, Remember the Time is the story of a man struggling to live a normal life under extraordinary circumstances, the story of a father fighting to protect and provide for his children. Remember the Time is the book that dismantles the tabloid myths once and for all to give Michael Jackson back his humanity.

  3. Michael Jackson had such a unique life that this would have to be a great read,on an aside I found myself watching the video that Justin Timberlake did with Michael Jackson for Love Never Felt So Good this weekend,and it really brought back a lot of memories of his earlier videos.

  6. It was a sad day for many people and his family when he died. It shows how bad hospital drugs are and shouldn't be used on anyone at home. I'm glad his doc was convicted. I think this will be an interesting read. Thank you for the giveaway :)
