A new book examining the 1993 allegations against Michael Jackson is now available in English on Amazon. Michael Jackson – Behind The Throne: Vol. 1 The Storm is written by French fan and YouTuber Davy Appert, who was previously known for his YouTube channel “Salut Les Fans” before changing its name to “Hors Tempo”.
Originally released in France in June, the book is the first instalment in a series exploring the life and career of Michael Jackson. The English edition is now available, bringing Appert’s investigation to a wider international audience.
About the Book
A single accusation can destroy a reputation in a matter of hours. Understanding how it began can take decades.
August 1993. Michael Jackson is the most famous artist in the world when an allegation of child sexual abuse unleashes a global media storm. Before long, the story seems to have already been written.
Yet behind the headlines, the case is far more complex. It begins with the meeting between the superstar and a family who gradually becomes part of his inner circle. Then a key figure emerges: Evan Chandler, the father of the teenage accuser.
Private conversations, threats of public exposure, secret negotiations with attorney Barry Rothman… Within a matter of weeks, a family conflict turns into an explosive legal case.
Why would the criminal investigation never lead to an indictment? Why did Michael Jackson’s lawyers fear a civil trial before the criminal proceedings so much? And why would the financial settlement eventually signed—legally containing no admission of guilt—become, in the court of public opinion, the evidence that seemed to explain everything?
In Behind The Throne: The Storm, Davy Appert conducts an investigation into the heart of the Jackson/Chandler case, exploring how an extraordinarily complex story was reduced, for thirty years, to a single word: the settlement.
A Fan’s Perspective on a Case That Still Matters
With Michael Jackson’s popularity reaching new audiences following the release of the biopic Michael, interest in his life, career and the allegations that surrounded him continues to grow.
Alongside the renewed attention, more books written by fans are examining the cases against the King of Pop. These publications offer another perspective on events that have shaped public perceptions of Michael Jackson for decades.
For many fans, revisiting the original documentation, examining the chronology of events and questioning how certain narratives became established is an important part of understanding the history. At a time when Michael Jackson is once again attracting widespread attention, the availability of research-focused books in English gives readers another opportunity to explore the subject for themselves.
Rather than allowing a single word or headline to define the entire story, Behind The Throne: The Storm invites readers to look more closely at the events surrounding the 1993 case.
