Summary:
"A powerful chronicle of the sixteen weeks leading up to
Michael
Jackson
's death. His final months were filled with deep lows and soaring highs, a constant hunt for privacy, and the pressure and fame that made him socially fragile and almost - ultimately - unable to live. With the insight and compassion that he brought to his account of Martin Luther King, Jr.'
s
final year, the author provides a glimpse into the superstar's life in this emotional, honest, yet celebratory book. Readers will witness
Jackson
's campaign to recharge his career - hiring and firing managers and advisors, turning to and away from family members, fighting depression and drug dependency - while his one goal remained: to mount the most spectacular series of shows the world had ever seen. This is a humanizing look at
Jackson
