Book Description
Jesse Jackson is a modern day
highway robber who uses cries of racism to steal from individuals,
corporations, and government, to give to himself, says veteran investigative
reporter Kenneth R. Timmerman.
Until now, however, no one has been brave enough
to say it and diligent enough to prove it. But Ken Timmerman has cracked
Jackson's machine, found Jackson cronies willing to break ranks, and
uncovered a sordid tale of greed, ambition, and corruption from a
self-proclaimed minister who has no qualms about poisoning American race
relations for personal gain.
Shakedown reveals:
* Jackson's massive defrauding of the federal
government - and how both Republican and Democratic administrations have
chosen to ignore it.
* Jackson's financial ties to Third World
dictators - including Mohammar Qaddafi of Libya.
* Jackson's shocking private life - and his even
more shocking public lies, including about his relationship with Dr. Martin
Luther King
Other details must remain embargoed until
publication, but one thing is for certain, Shakedown finally bursts the
carefully constructed myths around Jesse Jackson and subject him to the
critical scrutiny he's long deserved.
Kenneth R. Timmerman, a reporter with more than
two decades of experience, has written for many magazines and newspapers
including Time, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Reader's Digest, and The
American Spectator, and has appeared on Nightline, Sixty Minutes, and many
other television programs. He lives in Kensington, Maryland, with his wife
and five children.
