From the editors who have previously brought forth best-selling illustrated biographies on the Beatles as a group and John Lennon in particular, now comes Remembering George Harrison: 10 Years Later. He was the quiet Beatle only in that he was standing alongside two louder-than-life characters and in front of a guy playing drums. He held many strong opinions-on Beatlemania, on global want, on his right to privacy, on his God-and gave firm voice to most of them. But George Harrison was certainly the most reluctant Beatle, wanting out almost as soon as he was in. He often said that his luckiest break was joining the band and his second luckiest was leaving it. The standard line is that George Harrison was an enigma, but perhaps he was transparent: a terrific guitarist, a fine songwriter, a wonderer, a seeker and, overriding all, a celebrity who hated and feared celebrity. George Harrison died at a friend’s home in Los Angeles ten years ago, in late 2001, at age 58, losing his last battle with cancer. He was beloved, and had been for a long time. He had thrived in the aftermath of the band’s breakup, becoming a recording artist on the level of his former mates McCartney and Lennon. He became as well the Happy Mystic, leading his legion of fans-of followers-toward a more meaningful way of living. As would be expected from LIFE, it is all here in pictures-the Hamburg days, the Cavern Club, the craze that was Beatlemania, the fun movies, the psychedelic period, the solo years (replete with Harrison’s reaction to Lennon’s death, and the subsequent attack on him and his wife at his English estate). The photographers who knew George and the Beatles best-Astrid Kirchherr in Hamburg; Terence Spencer in the UK; Harry Benson in London, Paris and the U.S.; Bob Whitaker as the band’s of-ficial photographer during the halcyon years; LIFE’s John Loengard and Bill Eppridge throughout it all-are all here, as they were in our book on Lennon. This is an intimate look back, with many visual surprises. The narrative is largely written (by and the book is edited by) LIFE managing editor Robert Sullivan, who wrote Time magazine’s cover story on George’s passing 10 years ago. One of the many marvels of the Beatles was that, although they all emerged from working-class Liverpool backgrounds, they were such distinct and fiercely individualis-tic personalities. None more so that George Harrison, who started well in the shadows and came to stand for something very large, and beautiful. This is his book.

America has enemies—ruthless people thepolice, the FBI, even the military can'talways stop. That's when the U.S.government calls on Will Robie, a freelancehitman who always nails his target.

Only now, Robie may have made the firstmistake of his career by stepping in torescue a wayward teenaged girl. A runawayfrom a private facility, the girl doesn't knowwhere her parents are, so Robie has nochoice but to turn her over to the policeand keep tabs on her from afar. Hisdevotion does not go unnoticed, however,and soon a tenacious female investigatorstarts to suspect that Robie's hit and therunaway teen might somehow beconnected. Worse, the more Robie learnsabout the girl, the more he's convinced sheis at the center of a vast cover‐up, one thatmay explain her parents' disappearance andstretch to unthinkable levels of power.

Now, Robie may have to step out of theshadows in order to save this girl's life...andperhaps his own.

"Read Fuller's...book...to make sense of thedangerous, changing, and complexrelationship between the West and theWorld of Islam."— Akbar S. Ahmed, IbnKhaldun Chair of Islamic Studies, AmericanUniversity on The Future of Political Islam

What if Islam never existed? To some, it's acomforting thought: no clash of civilizations,no holy wars, no terrorists. But what if thatweren't the case at all? In A WORLDWITHOUT ISLAM, Graham E. Fuller guidesus along an illuminating journey throughhistory, geopolitics, and religion toinvestigate whether or not Islam is indeedthe cause of some of today's mostemotional and important internationalcrises. Fuller takes us from the birth of Islamto the fall of Rome to the rise and collapseof the Ottoman Empire. He examines andanalyzes the roots of terrorism, the conflictin Israel, and the role of Islam in supportingand energizing the anti‐imperial struggle.Provocatively, he finds that contrary to theclaims of many politicians, thinkers,theologians, and soldiers, a world withoutIslam might not look vastly different fromwhat we know today.

Filled with fascinating details andcounterintuitive conclusions, A WORLDWITHOUT ISLAM is certain to inspire debateand reshape the way we think about Islam'srelationship with the West.
