Art of Suicide
The Art of Suicide is a history of the visual representation of suicide from the ancient world to its decriminalization in the 20th century. After looking at instances of voluntary death in ancient Greece, Ron Brown discusses the contrast between the extraordinary absence of such events in early Christianity and the proliferation of images of biblical suicides in the late medieval era.

Ron Brown's Body
The mysterious death of Ron Brown has caused much controversy and suspicion, and in this investigative book, Cashill takes a close look at Brown's checkered career as Clinton fund-raiser and commerce secretary and consequently exposes the Clintons' dirty, relentless practices for getting financial backing. Cashill answers the most trenchant questions surrounding Brown's rise and fall: Why did his plane crash? Why did the White House suppress an investigation? What was the purpose of Brown's trade missions? And what larger forces caused the Clintons to seek international cash? Using the case of Ron Brown's untimely death as a touchstone for the Clintons' unseemly and unsavory practices in the White House, Cashill explores the seedy depths of the most corrupt administration in American history during its two most desperate years and focuses directly on the machinations of the direst threat to today's political scene, Hillary Clinton.

The Life and Times of Ron Brown
In The Life and Times of Ron Brown, his daughter, Tracey L. Brown, shares a touching account of the person and the politician, and a candid look at one of this century's most compelling figures. From his earliest days growing up in Harlem's Hotel Theresa, the legendary mecca for dignitaries and celebrities like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Fidel Castro, and Joe Louis, Ron Brown displayed a precocious intellect and an ability to make friends readily. Educated at Vermont's Middlebury College, he became the first black member of the school's Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, one of the several "firsts" in his life. The Life and Times of Ron Brown reveals his accomplishments - as the first black officer to serve in his army unit, the first black leader of a national political party, and the first black commerce secretary - and sensitively examines what it meant for Ron Brown to be a minority achiever in a predominantly white world.
