Truth Be Told is a revealing and irresistibly entertaining look back on Larry's remarkable run at CNN, and an honest look at Larry's own life behind the scenes. After more than a half-century of asking questions, Larry King suddenly found everyone wanted answers from him. Was Larry King Live, CNN's highest rated program, ending after three decades? Was Larry getting divorced again? The paparazzi aimed their cameras at Larry. Jay Leno and other late-night talk-show hosts were having fun at his expense. And a cloud of uncertainty hovered over CNN. All of this forced Larry to look at changes in all aspects of his life, ultimately leading to his decision to leave Larry King Live and devote more time to his marriage and children. Larry reflects on how much the world has changed around him over the course of his fifty-year career, and he has a lot to say about everything and from marriage, politics, sports, entertainment, to the justice system, broadcasting, and the American future. Truth Be Told is a candid and surprising look inside the monumental career of one of the most powerful and legendary talk-show hosts as he signs off from the nightly television program that has been close to all of our hearts.

In the ten years since Princess Diana’s shocking and tragic death in 1997, her hold on the world’s imagination has only increased. For The People’s Princess , Larry King asked many people who knew Diana, some officially and some more personally, for their favorite memories.Sir Richard Branson recalls Diana sitting in the cockpit of one of his private planes with baby Prince William on her lap; as they flew past Windsor Castle she announced, “On our right you have Grandma’s house!” Heather Mills, who, like Diana, has been a tireless campaigner for charitable causes, recalls Diana’s work to eradicate the scourge of land mines, as well as the time she was photographed shaking hands with an AIDS patient in a London hospital, doing so much to counteract the stigma associated with the disease at the time. British radio and television personality Chris Tarrant recalls how clearly nervous he was upon meeting Diana for the first time, and how she put him at ease with an incredibly rude joke about Kermit the Frog. Photographer Tim Graham remembers Diana lying on the floor with baby William in order to coax a smile from the young prince. And her chief bodyguard recalls how happy and at peace she seemed on the day he agreed to her simple to be allowed to walk, truly alone for once, along a beautiful, deserted beach.Some of these recollections are warm and intimate, celebrating Diana for her ability to make a human connection with everyone she met, others are perceptive and revealing, even about Diana’s human failings and frailties. Together, they coalesce into a multifaceted portrait of a woman that the world has long desired to know a little better.

In Larry King’s Powerful Conversations on Faith, Hope, and the Human Spirit with Today’s Most Provocative People , the Emmy Award-winning king of the interview asks some of the world’s most prominent, glamorous, and intriguing figures to answer the most profound questions of our times--questions that deal with the resurgence of faith and spirituality.Recent surveys indicating fifty percent of all Americans are now praying at least once a day, and nine out of ten people in the nation's largest and most unconventional city, New York, believe in God. The current public attraction toward religion-oriented books, radio and television programs further reflects this renewed interest in spirituality.Through his unique relationships with celebrities and political leaders, King explores the intimate prayers of such famous personalities as President Jimmy Carter, President Gerald Ford, Shimon Peres, Barbara Bush, Noah Wylie, Muhammad Ali, Steve Young, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Tommy Lasorda, Lou Holtz, Scott Hamilton, Alexander Haig, Senator John McCain, Reverend Jerry Falwell, Reverend Cecil Murray, Alan Dershowitz, Marianne Williamson, Pete Seeger, Willie Nelson, Jack Kevorkian, Anthony Robbins, Dr. Laura Schlesinger, Dr. John Gray, and many others.Powerful Prayers examines the lives that have been suddenly and permanently altered through prayer, and lives that are sustained by its everyday practice. It reveals the prayers of world leaders prior to crucial decisions, businessmen before closing a big deal, players and coaches before the big game, and generals during battle, then questions if praying to win is the same as praying for someone else to lose. It explores prayers of thanks and prayers for things, and asks if offering something in return for answered prayers is simply bargaining with God.Powerful Prayers is fascinating, informative, insightful, and inspirational. It is a perfect blend of the secular and the spiritual--a bestseller with heart.

From Larry King, host of CNN’s Larry King Live and Edgar Award-winning mystery writer Thomas H. Cook comes a madcap caper about the bright lights and dimwits of Manhattan. When the lovely Allison Vandameer concocts a scheme to get herself into film school against her father’s wishes, she has no idea the forces she’s unleashed. She and her political pundit/media megastar father, along with a cast of colorful characters who’d be equally at home in a Woody Allen movie, all unwittingly conspire to create a citywide web of intrigue, insanity, conflicting political values and personal agendas. The action takes them to the Plaza, to Queens, to Herald Square, to Tiffany, and into bars, bedrooms, Bergdorf Goodman and back, with everything culminating on live television in front of all of America in a dizzying climax that proves that love confuses all.

As host of Larry King Live -- one of the most popular daily forums for political news and commentary -- King has used his show to ask probing questions of the pundits, spin doctors, major politicians, and the reporters who are directly involved with the passing -- American scene.In Anything Goes! , King will take a long and in-depth look at how our America -- through the prism of the electronic and print media -- has gotten to the point where it is today. Bipartisan politics, bimbo eruptions, grandstanding in Congress, backstabbing tactics -- and more -- it's the stuff of our daily headlines, whether we like it or not.In sum, expect Larry King at his best -- with inside political stories and anecdotes never before reported anywhere.

Yogi Berra’s dad, an immigrant from northern Italy, didn’t see the point of American sports, but taught Yogi to keep his word and always be on time. Mario Cuomo’s father seemed diminutive (“Maybe he was five foot six if his heels were not worn”), but he once led Mario and his brother in a herculean, nearly impossible effort to hoist and replant a downed 40-foot-tall blue spruce. C. Everett Koop’s dad imparted to his son the crucial difference between buying something and affording something. And from her famous father, Danny, Marlo Thomas learned the wisdom of forgiveness when he told her, “I do not hunch my back with yesterday.”For My Dad and Me , Larry King asked more than 120 celebrated and successful people about their favorite memories of their fathers. Their recollections are rich with life lessons, large and Some are truly insightful and wise, some are hilarious, some are pragmatic, but each is a genuine reflection of the priceless gift of fatherhood. It’s one thing, after all, to be told about such virtues as honesty and integrity, hard work and perseverance, gentleness and strength. It’s quite another to see them living, or even sometimes faltering, within someone you love.As warm and funny, reassuring and surprising as dads themselves, My Dad and Me not only celebrates fatherhood but also offers some candid glimpses behind the public images of well-known men and women from Donald Trump and President George H.W. Bush to Patricia Heaton and Bill Gates.Larry King presents a moving and revealing collection of inspirational stories about fathers—and the life lessons they teach—from a host of famous men and women, Chinua Achebe, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Helen Gurley Brown, President George H. W. Bush, Bob Costas, Alan Dershowitz, Phyllis Diller, Hugh Downs, Bill Gates, Ira Glass, Derek Jeter, Randy Johnson, Don Mattingly, Kevin Nealon, Kurt Russell, Bob Saget, Ryan Seacrest, Marlo Thomas, Alex Trebek, Donald Trump, Al Yankovic, And many more . . .

La peste zece ani de la socanta si tragica disparitie a Printesei Diana, in 1997, influenta sa asupra imaginatiei intregii lumi nu face decat sa creasca. Pentru alcatuirea volumului Diana, Printesa inimilor, Larry King, moderatorul celui mai longeviv si mai popular talk-show de televiziune, si-a pus la lucru celebra sa agenda cu adrese si numere de telefon si a intrat in legatura cu mai multe persoane care au cunoscut-o pe Diana, unii in calitate oficiala, altii in relatii personale, rugandu-le sa-i ofere citeva dintre cele mai vii amintiri despre Printesa. Unele dintre aceste amintiri sunt pline de sensibilitate, elogiind farmecul, compasiunea si capacitatea Dianei de a stabili o legatura calda cu orice persoana pe care o intalnea, altele sunt instructive si revelatoare, vorbind despre esecurile din viata Printesei si slabiciunile sale. Toate acestea, adunate, se intrepatrund, alcatuind un portret multidimensional al uneia dintre cele mai celebre femei din lume, despre care omenirea tanjeste in continuare sa afle cat mai mult. Cei care au cunoscut-o pe Printesa, printre care se numara secretarul sau personal, Patrick Jephson, ca si cunostintele mai putin apropiate, precum Joan Collins, ne impartasesc amintiri extraordinare despre Diana, care o contureaza ca pe o fiinta plina de compasiune, fermecatoare, calda, iubitoare si, nu in ultimul rand, foarte vesela. Jurnalistul englez Piers Morgan isi aminteste ca "avea un ras fantastic, un chicotit cat se poate de natural si de molipsitor". Fostul secretar de presa al Reginei, Dickie Arbiter, isi aminteste de replica Dianei, atunci cand acesta a facut o apreciere ironica la adresa masinii germane pe care o conducea "Cel putin pe o masina germana te poti baza mult mai mult decat pe un sot de aceeasi origine". Desi majoritatea celor care au colaborat la aceasta carte au o atitudine admirativa, cativa, printre care actorul Robert Powel, au mentionat si defectele Printesei, amintind de temperamentul sau agitat.
