The President and the Provocateur explores the parallel lives of John F. Kennedy, born into wealth and celebrity, destined for glory and a violent death, and of Lee Harvey Oswald, born into poverty and obscurity, murdered in police custody and convicted - without a lawyer or a trial - of the killing of JFK. 50 years after both men were murdered, Alex Cox provides a chronological account of their lives' strange intersections, their shared interests, and the increasing body of evidence which suggests that Lee Harvey Oswald was working for some branch of the government - most likely the FBI or IRS - as an infiltrator of subversive groups, and agent provocateur.

The essential companion for fans old and newThe Prisoner reaches its 40th anniversary in September 2007, just in time for its reincarnation on our screens. The series has puzzled and intrigued millions of viewers since it was originally shown on ITV in the late 1960s. Only seventeen episodes were originally made; each one of them is riddled with mystery and poses unanswerable questions. The first Prisoner series captured the imagination as few programmes have done before or since and became a true television phenomenon. Here its unique appeal and history are examined in a fully updated edition with a new chapter boasting insider info on the new series. Including interviews with Patrick McGoohan, Kenneth Griffith, Alexis Kanner and Anton Rogers, The Prisoner Handbook reveals more information than was previously known about the series, the characters portrayed, the cast themselves and what it was really like during production. Complete with a foreword by Alex Cox and a full episode-by-episode guide, as well as an examination of the significance of the series both forty years ago and now, this is the complete guide to the unique appeal and history of television's most enigmatic series.

The Prisoner Handbook

David Hartman

In '10,000 Zombies', illustrator David Hartman presents a collection of imaginative zombies in all their gruesome glory. Each terrifying character has been neatly hewn at the neck and waist to allow you to flip the pages of the book to create over 10,000 original zombies, all with their own accompanying story.

Cult TV show The Prisoner is widely considered surreal. In his new book, Cox takes an opposing view. According to Cox, the key to understanding The Prisoner is to view the series in the order in which the episodes were made - not in the re-arranged order of the UK or US television screenings. In this book he does exactly that, and provides an entirely original and controversial 'explanation' for what is perhaps the best, the most original, and certainly the most perplexing, TV series of all time.

I Am Not a Number

The enormously puzzling TV series The Prisoner has developed a rapt cult following, and has often been described as 'surreal' or 'Kafkaesque.' Alex Cox watched all the episodes of The Prisoner on their first broadcast, at the ripe old age of thirteen. In I Am (Not) a Number, Cox believes he provides the answers to all the questions which have engrossed and confounded viewers including: Who is Number 6? Who runs The Village? Who - or what - is Number 1?

Clear and well-informed - written from a gifted film-maker's point of view, with a Coxian twinkle in its eye - this is the best guide to THE PRISONER and its hidden depths that I have read.

I Am (Not) A Number

A completely new chronological history of the Spaghetti Western, beginning with Corbucci's 'Red Pastures', as seen through the eyes of a fine director.

A Director's Take on the Spaghetti Western

10,000 Ways to Die

"Forty years ago as a graduate student I wrote a book about Spaghetti Westerns, called 10,000 Ways to Die. It's an embarrassing tome: full of half-assed semiotics and other attenuated academic nonsense. Thirty years later I wrote an entirely new book with the same title, about the same subject, from a different perspective--that of a working film director. What interested me was what the filmmakers intended, how they did that shot, how the director felt when his film was recut by the distributor, and he was creatively and financially screwed. Now I have prepared a new edition of the 10,000 Ways to Die. It reflects my changing thoughts about the Italian Western, which I still greatly admire. It includes corrections, additions, and new sections on films I changed my mind about, or hadn't seen--including Lina Wertmuller's Belle Star--the only Italian Western directed by a woman." --Alex Cox

40 years ago as a Graduate student I wrote a book about Spaghetti Westerns, called 10,000 Ways to Die. It's an embarrassing tome when I look at it now: full of half-assed semiotics and other attenuated academic nonsense. In the intervening period, I have had the interesting experience of being a film director. So now, when I watch these films, I'm looking at them from a different perspective. A professional perspective maybe...I'm thinking about what the filmmakers intended, how they did that shot, how the director felt when his film was recut by the studio and he was creatively and financially screwed. 10,000 Ways to Die is an entirely new book about an under-studied subject, the Spaghetti Western, from a director's POV. Not only have these films stood the test of time; some of them are very high art. - Alex Cox
