Description

Biography & Autobiography. Performing Arts. Nonfiction. HTML:#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER � With a new afterword by the author in honor of Frank Sinatra�s 100th birthday   This is the book that Frank Sinatra tried�but failed�to keep from publication, and it�s easy to understand why. This unauthorized biography goes behind the iconic myth of Sinatra to expose the well-hidden side of one of the most celebrated�and elusive�public figures of our time. Celebrated journalist Kitty Kelley spent three years researching government documents (Mafia-related material, wiretaps, and secret testimony) and interviewing more than 800 people in Sinatra�s life (family, colleagues, law-enforcement officers, friends). The result is a stunning, often shocking expos� of a man as tortured as he was talented, as driven to self-destruction as he was to success.   Featuring a new afterword by the author, this fully documented, highly detailed biography�filled with revealing anecdotes�is the penetrating story of the explosively controversial and undeniably multitalented legend who ruled the entertainment industry for fifty years and continues to fascinate to this day.   Praise for His Way   �The most eye-opening celebrity biography of our time.��The New York Times   �A compelling page-turner . . . Kitty Kelley�s book has made all future Sinatra biographies virtually redundant.��Los Angeles Herald Examiner.… (more)
