terror has happened largely behind closed doors, run
by the White House, drawing on secret intelligence and
operations around the world. There is no man who knows
more about it than Richard Clarke, the former
Counterterrorism Czar for both George W. Bush and Bill
Clinton, the man who has led our efforts against al
Qaeda and all other terrorist enemies for years,
serving under seven presidents and in the White House
for George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W Bush,
until he resigned in March 2003. He has had a
front-row seat at every major battle in this war, from
the first World Trade Center bombing, to 9/11, to
Afghanistan, to Iraq. |

Compiled from his own
words, this history-making autobiography IS Martin
Luther King: the mild-mannered, inquisitive child and
student who rebelled against segregation; the
dedicated young minister who constantly questioned the
depths of his faith and the limits of his wisdom; the
loving husband and father who sought to balance his
family's needs with those of a growing nationwide
movement; and the reflective, world-famous leader who
was fired by a vision of equality for people
everywhere. Relevant and insightful, this
Autobiography offers King's seldom discussed views on
some of the world's greatest and most controversial
figures including John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Mahatma
Gandhi and Richard Nixon.

Confessions of Video Vixen is
the widely anticipated memoir of Karrine Steffans, the
once-sought-after sexy siren who appeared in the music videos of
multiplatinum hip hop artists such as Jay-Z, R. Kelly, and LL

when acclaimed director F. Gary Gray picked her to costar in his

with the celebrities featured in the pages of People and In
Touch magazines only skim the surface of Karrine's life. |
