Iconic broadcaster and author, Geraldo Rivera, has released his newest book The Geraldo Show: A Memoir (published by BenBella Books). An eye-opening autobiography of Geraldo’s extraordinary life and times, the book recounts his award-winning, action-packed, emotionally charged and controversial 48-years in the news business, his far-flung adventures in war and peace, his triumphant 15-year long shot marriage to wife and partner Erica, and his wild bunch of family and eclectic friends who range from conservative commentator Sean Hannity to stoner comic Cheech Marin to Donald J. Trump, the forty-fifth President of the United States.
The Geraldo Show: A Memoir includes a sympathetic, but not sycophantic portrait of the president. Both native New Yorkers, the two friends have known each other for decades through various phases of life in the big city. They speak frequently, and Geraldo explains his choice following the 2016 election to back the president, whenever ethically and honorably possible.
The book tells how Geraldo’s support of the polarizing president has cost friendships and caused tension, even within Geraldo’s own family. Erica, like many American women, opposes the president’s policies and Geraldo describes their friction common these days in millions of similarly divided American households.
In the wake of the devastating 9/11 attacks, Geraldo tells how he left “Rivera Live”, his top-rated show on CNBC, to join Fox News and the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Geraldo brings the reader inside his decade-long, obsessive pursuit of the terror mastermind from bin Laden’s Tora Bora Afghanistan hideout to the day almost ten years later in May 2011 when he was killed by our Navy SEALS, exhilarating news Geraldo broke to the American people.
The Geraldo Show: A Memoir also tells the melancholy story of the downfall of Roger Ailes, his friend and mentor, and of other powerful men like reigning anchors Bill O’Reilly and Matt Lauer, and it explores the role played by several strong women, including Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly, in making history in the painful process.
The book also describes the inevitable toll of age, and of a hard life, well lived. The Geraldo Show is vivid history, told from the inside out.
The Geraldo Show: A Memoir by BenBella Books is available at Geraldo.com, Barnes & Nobles, Amazon and Google Books.
