Right in time for the 2008 primaries, this new edition of the award-winning, muckraking portrait of "America's mayor" exposes of the truth behind Giuliani myth. Written by the late, great New York journalist Jack Newfield, who knew Giuliani for more than 20 years, it contains interviews with those who knew Rudy best, revealing an authoritarian leader whose strengths are canceled out by "immense weaknesses of temperament, opportunism, and intolerance."
This new edition of The Full Rudy has a preface by best-selling author Joe Conason.
