I wonder if he ever going to released, it will be interesting to hear what he has to say since you never hear too much of him in the public

summary
Marlon Jackson knew early fame most of us can only imagine as a member of the Jackson 5, one of the most successful singing groups in the history of popular music. Along with his brothers, he performed a grueling number of shows and made huge amounts of money...for his parents. But, as most of us know, there was a dark side to the Jacksons' story of glitter and gold. Terrorized by their father, Joe Jackson, Marlon and his siblings, including Michael, were traumatized, humiliated, and ultimately denied their fair share of their earnings.

SURVIVING THE STORMS is Marlon's story of the dysfunction and heartache that enveloped his family. With revelations about his brothers and sisters and, most shockingly, about his parents that will help explain the tragic paths some of them have chosen, the book will also be an inspiring and entertaining read. Today, Marlon is a successful businessman whose marriage has withstood the tests of celebrity and poverty and who, while wanting to set the record straight, holds no bitterness or rancor. It will be a page-turner for the millions fascinated by all things Jackson.

MARLON JACKSON is an original member with his four brothers of The Jackson 5, a group that has sold more than 100 million records. He is the Founder and Senior Managing Partner of the Major Broadcasting Cable Network (MBC Network), where he brings more than 30 years of business entertainment and operations experience. He is also an avid philanthropist involved with many causes and charities
 
I also would like to hear Marlon. I like him.
He doesn't seem to be a leeching opportunist like LaToya and Jermaine are, so I'd be more willing to give his book the benefit of the doubt, or at least approach it with an open mind. I like Marlon, too. :)

Marlon Jackson
National Enquirer interview, 1988
In one altercation recalled by Marlon, Joseph held Michael upside down by one leg at the age of three and &#8220;pummeled him over and over again with his hand, hitting him on his back and buttocks.&#8221;
Marlon also said he himself would &#8220;get lit up like a christmas tree&#8221; by Joseph.
The Mirror, 29th August 2009
Michael loathed their dad Joe, accusing him of beating him as a child, which Joe, who lives apart from Katherine, has always denied.
But Marlon insisted: &#8220;My father beat us a lot of times. I felt resentful.
&#8220;That sort of discipline wasn&#8217;t abnormal in our neighbourhood but it doesn&#8217;t mean it was right.&#8221;
And Marlon believes the beatings may have fatally damaged Jackson&#8217;s self-esteem and ability to fend for himself.
&#8220;It does a couple of things to you &#8211; it forms you into this person who is not able to confront people when they&#8217;re not satisfied with things.
&#8220;It also makes people able to take advantage of you. I found a lot of my siblings were that way.&#8221; </td> </tr> </tbody></table>

The Michael Jackson child molestation trial is underway. The trial is
expected to last five months. Will Michael be found guilty of sexually
molesting a 13 year old cancer patient? Michael's parents are worried
sick. Katherine is having trouble sleeping and she has a bad heart.
The Jackson family is under a lot stress right now.Michael's brother
Marlon is getting ready to release a book about life in the Jackson family. Marlon's book is expected to blow the lid off of the Jackson family secrets. In the book called Surviving the Storm Marlon talks about how the brothers were cheated out of their money by their father. He says Michael and Janet support the entire family. Will this book hurt Michael during his trial? Only time will tell. </td></tr></tbody></table>
 
Interesting. Maybe he can release it one day. I am more interested in his side of story than LaToya and Jermaine's.
