#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.
"A compelling page-turner . . . Kitty Kelley's book has made all future Sinatra biographies virtually redundant."--Los Angeles Herald Examiner
