*By Daily Press staff*

On Sept. 9, the Santa Monica Public Library’s Tuesdays with Books Program will feature a review of a new book about former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

The book, “Rudy Giuliani: Emperor of the City” by Andrew Kirtzman will be reviewed by Edward Chersky at 1:30 p.m. at the Ken Edwards Center, 1528 Fourth Street According to Tish Durkin, a political reporter at the New York Observer, “Kirtzman has produced a kaleidoscope of insight into the bright, shifting, political mind of Rudy Giuliani. As with the well-told tale of any emperor, this one has the fabled rise, the pinnacle reached, the settling into stasis the intrigues at court, the hints of mania — and, of course, the omnipotent dragon lady.”
