Now that Rudy Giuliani has filed his statement of candidacy papers to the Federal Election Commission, Soft Skull Press is pleased to announce the publication of "AMERICA'S MAYOR, AMERICA'S PRESIDENT?: THE STRANGE CAREER OF RUDY GIULIANI," the revised and expanded edition, edited by Robert Polner, with a Preface by Jimmy Breslin.

Forthcoming April 2nd, this new edition includes Michael Powell of the New York Times on Rudy & Race; Paul Schwartzman of the Washington Post on his formative years; and Richard Steier on the Kerik Affair

The New York Times calls AMERICA'S MAYOR, "a welcome antidote to the encomiums heaped upon America's mayor after Sept. 11th, 2001, by so many people who forgot or never bothered to find out where Mr. Giuliani stood on Sept 10."

Rudy Giuliani's admirably flinty response to the horrifying events of 9-11 has made him a national hero, positioning him for his ultimate quest, the White House.  But the outpouring of praise for his performance after Sept 11, 2001 has obscured many uncomfortable facts about Giuliani, one of the most polarizing figures in the history of a great and frenetic city.
