In The Eyes Of His Twin: The Story Of Joseph Jackson

Joseph Jackson -- younger than Michael Jackson by seven minutes -- offers a keenly observed memoir tracing his twin brother's life starting from their shared childhood and extending through the Jackson 5 years, their individual phenomenal solo careers, their loves, their suffering, and Michael's tragic end. It is a sophisticated, no-holds-barred examination of the men, aimed at fostering a true and final understanding of who they are, why they are and what shaped them.

Joseph knows the real Michael as only a twin can. In his first most raw, honest and poignant autobiography, he speaks about Michael and Joseph, not just "the twins" or "the Empires Of Pop". He doesn't flinch from tackling the tough issues they faced together: the horrid press, the scandals, traumatic childhood and adolescence, the allegations, the court cases, the internal politics, the ill-fated This Is It tour, and disturbing developments in the days leading up to Michael's death. But where previous works have presented only thin versions of a media construct, this book provides a rare glimpse into the complex hearts, minds, and souls of two brilliant but sometimes troubled entertainers. As a witness to history on the inside, Joseph is the only person qualified to deliver the real Michael and Joseph and reveal what made them tick, their private opinions, and unseen emotions through the most headline-making episodes of their lives.

Filled with keen insight, rich in anecdotes and behind-the-scenes detail, In The Eyes Of His Twin: The Story Of Joseph Jackson is the book for any true Michael Jackson fan and for anyone trying to make sense of one twin whose death was so premature.
