News of Michael Jackson's appearances in court on paedophile charges in 2005 was broadcast to hundreds of millions of people around the world. Everyone had opinions about the testimony and the witnesses as the drama was played out in the small town of Santa Maria in California. This book not only tells the story of that trial but of what was secretly going on behind the scenes - a far more important and mysterious tale than that unfolding in the courthouse.

'The Trials of Michael Jackson' reveals the sensational events which led to the downfall of a megastar at the hands of the mighty Sony company and an obsessive but compliant prosecutor. Using previously unpublished material, personal interviews and evidence gathered during research on three continents, Lynton Guest uncovers the truth about the bitter feud between one of the biggest corporations in the world and pop music's greatest legend.

For the first time, the reasons behind Martin Bashir's infamous documentary and the strange decisions taken by the Santa Barbara prosecutor, are laid bare. The incredible machinations of the men from Japan and their American allies were designed to ensure nothing less than the destruction of Michael Jackson and billions of dollars of profit for Sony.

This book takes us on a roller-coaster ride, from the ashes of a defeated Japan in 1945 to the twenty-first century celebrity culture which now spans the globe. It provides the most authoritative look yet at the music business and its extreme excesses over the last forty years. But more than anything else 'The Trials of Michael Jackson' shows how the man who gave us 'Thriller', the biggest selling record of all time, was hunted down and all but destroyed by forces beyond even his control. As Jackson attempts to put his life back together in Bahrain, those who seek to benefit from his demise have not gone away. They remain in the shadows, watching and waiting. It's time they were held up to the light.

About the author:
Lynton Guest entered the music business in 1967 aged sixteen. As a member of the group, ÔLove AffairŐ, he had a number one hit in fourteen countries with one of the most iconic pop records of the sixties, ÔEverlasting LoveŐ. Thereafter, he was a songwriter and producer, had a legendary manager, Robert Stigwood, ran an independent record label and released the theme to the hit television series Tinker Tailor, Soldier Spy (starring Alec Guiness) which won an Ivor Novello award.

In the 1980s Lynton went to Kings College, London, where he graduated with honours in Ancient and Medieval History. His dissertation was on the trading patterns and archaeology of the Indus Valley civilisation (c3000BC-1200BC). While studying at Kings, Lynton began writing prolifically for newspapers and magazines and had his first book (on the business of football) published in 1990. Three more books on football followed, all of which were sports best-sellers. During this time he also contributed regularly to the London Sunday Telegraph, was a consultant to several sports organisations (including the Football Association and the Football League), and began analysing financial matters for merchant bankers eager to participate in footballŐs revolution of the 1990s.

In 2005, Lynton released a CD of remixes of some of his favourite records from the sixties, including ÔEverlasting LoveŐ. The CD, called ÔOnceAndFutureŐ by Science of Sound won the prize for Best Compilation CD of 2005 at the Los Angeles Music Awards. He is an Associate of Kings College.

The publishing company he's attached to is fairly young... started in 1993, it seems the books this author has done although on sports apparently they sold well... but you know that the UK and soccer... how he'll translate this to US and the world I don't know.....he doesn't seem to have any contacts.....

klingt ja mal ziemlich interessant....
und (wie es scheint) mal nicht anti-michael.

hoffentlich wird die veröffentlichung net noch im letzten moment verzögert oder gestoppt, wenn da was drin steht, was die sauerei mal öffentlich unter der decke raus holt....

hm...an mikes schuldenbergen ist aber kein zweifel.
und dass er in vielen dingen einfach mal ins klo gegriffen hat, ist auch kein geheimnis. das hat ja nichts damit zu tun, dass man jemand als "naives kleinkind" betrachtet, sondern dass man erkennt, dass da jemand einfach mal kein kaufmännisches händchen hat. zum beispiel.
nicht umsonst werden in der regel ganze stäbe beauftragt, die sowas dann in der hand haben.
aber wenn man auch da wieder die falschen leute ans ruder lässt...sitzt man einfach mal schnell auf dem trockenen - besonders, wenn man auch noch recht....grosszügig und freigiebig ist
manches kann man ihm nichtmal ankreiden - er hats einfach nicht besser gelernt, er war seit kindertagen schon der superstar.
aber das ändert halt nichts daran, dass am ende der liste ER den kopf hinhalten muss, wenn etwas den bach runtergeht, wenn die kohle alle is, wenn er schulden machen muss, um NL zu halten, wenn er noch mehr schulden machen muss, um andere kredite zu sichern, und wenn er seinen einzigen sicheren gewinnbringer auf lebenszeit dann zu guter etzt auch noch bis zur neige beleihen muss.
man kann das doch eingestehn, ohne dass man damit michael ans leder will?! vom schönfärben hat keiner was gewonnen - michael am wenigsten.
