Rudy Giuliani

Rudy Giuliani: Emperor of the City
$13.95
This is not a traditional biography, which was what I expected when I picked up the book. If you wish to know about Rudy's life before 1989, his first marriage, childhood, days as U.S. attorney, this is not the right book for you. The first 100 pages or so this book are a bit slow--too much campaign stuff and not enough on governing. However, the narrative picks up quickly over the last 200 pages. We learn about Rudy's mistakes and triumphs--of which there are many. You learn a ton about Rudy's controversial policies. The personal scandals are discussed, but not in a malicious way. We never learn about the details of his mysterious marriage to Donna Hanover--or anything much about Hanover. So, yes, things are left out. However, Al Sharpton is a fascinating character here. You learn about Rudy's day on Sept. 11, when the author was actually running around the city with the Mayor. The narrative ends in 2001. I would have loved to hear more about Bloomberg, but who can change the publication date now? It isn't perfect, but Rudy remains one of the fascinating--and successful--Mayors of our time.

Grand Illusion: The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11
$14.95
A great book that is thoroughly researched and scholarly written. Excellent chapters exposing the long history of malfunction between the Police Department and the Fire Department. Guiliani inserted himself in this political battle for his own benefit and to the tragic detriment of many who should not have died on 9/11. I also liked the chapter on air polution. As a physician in NYC, I know that we still see asthma patients with onset of their disease after 9/11. The book provides a lesson in local politics which should be a must read for students. Anyone considering Guiliani at a national level for any office, or for any speech (including at the Republican convention), should read this book.

The Full Rudy: The Man, the Myth, the Mania
$12.99
This author clearly had an axe to grind with Rudy. Here is the premise in a nutshell: Newfield disagrees with Rudy's politics and therefore dismisses anything Rudy has done. Wow, that's worth your time. You are better off reading the Wikipedia bio than this book.
