Paperback. Zustand: Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The inspiration for American Crime Story: The People v. O. J. Simpson on FX, starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., John Travolta, David Schwimmer, and Connie Britton   The definitive account of the O. J. Simpson trial, The Run of His Life is a prodigious feat of reporting that could have been written only by the foremost legal journalist of our time. First published less than a year after the infamous verdict, Jeffrey Toobin's nonfiction masterpiece tells the whole story, from the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman to the ruthless gamesmanship behind the scenes of "the trial of the century." Rich in character, as propulsive as a legal thriller, this enduring narrative continues to shock and fascinate with its candid depiction of the human drama that upended American life.   Praise for The Run of His Life   "This is the book to read."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times   "This book stands out as a gripping and colorful account of the crime and trial that captured the world's attention."--Boston Sunday Globe   "A real page-turner . . . strips away the months of circuslike televised proceedings and the sordid tell-all books and lays out a simple, but devastating, synopsis of the case."--Entertainment Weekly   "A well-written, profoundly rational analysis of the trial and, more specifically, the lawyers who conducted it."--USA Today   "Engrossing . . . Toobin's insight into the motives and mind-set of key players sets this Simpson book apart from the pack."--People (one of the top ten books of the year).…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. The first full scale biography of Wallis Simpson to be written by a woman, exploring the mind of one of the most glamorous and reviled figures of the Twentieth Century, a character who played prominently in the blockbuster film The King's Speech.This is the story of the American divorcee notorious for allegedly seducing a British king off his throne. That woman, so called by Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, was born Bessie Wallis Warfield in 1896 in Baltimore. Neither beautiful nor brilliant, she endured an impoverished childhood, which fostered in her a burning desire to rise above her circumstances.Acclaimed biographer Anne Sebba offers an eye-opening account of one of the most talked about women of her generation.

Since her death, Simpson has become a symbol of female empowerment as well as a style icon. But her psychology remains an enigma. Drawing from interviews and newly discovered letters, That Woman shines a light on this captivating and complex woman, an object of fascination that has only grown with the years.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. NOW UPDATED WITH NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE ROYAL FAMILYLong before the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, came the first scene-stealing American divorc e to win the heart of a British royal--and forever change the House of Windsor and the lineage of future kings . . . A woman's life can really be a succession of lives, each revolving around some emotionally compelling situation or challenge, and each marked off by some intense experience. It was the love story of the century--the king and the commoner. In December 1936, King Edward VI abdicated the throne to marry the woman I love, Wallis Warfield Simpson, a twice-divorced American who quickly became one of the twentieth century's most famous personalities, a figure of intrigue and mystery, both admired and reviled.Never explain, never complain. Wrongly blamed for the abdication crisis, Wallis suffered hostility from the Royal Family and much of the world. Yet interest in her story remains constant, resulting in a small library of biographies that convey a thinly veiled animosity toward their subject. The truth, however, is infinitely more fascinating . . . For a gallant spirit, there can never be defeat. Using previously untapped sources, here is a complete and, for the first time, sympathetic portrait of the Duchess that reveals the woman behind the legend, from her birth in Pennsylvania during the Gilded Age to her death in Paris in 1986. King takes the reader through a world of privilege, palaces, and romance, politicians, dictators, and socialites--as well as feuds and lies--in a real-life fairy tale that bears striking similarities to the controversial decision by Prince Harry and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, to step back from their royal duties--in the name of love. A sympathetic and believable portrait. --Christian Science Monitor One of the most perennial stories ever told. --Booklist.…
