Frank Sinatra was the best-known entertainer of the twentieth
century--infinitely charismatic, lionized and notorious in equal
measure. But despite his mammoth fame, Sinatra the man has remained an
enigma. Now James Kaplan brings deeper insight than ever before to the
complex psyche and turbulent life behind that incomparable voice, from
Sinatra's humble beginning in Hoboken to his fall from grace and
Oscar-winning return in From Here to Eternity. Here at last is the
biographer who makes the reader feel what it was really like to be Frank
Sinatra*--*as man, as musician, as tortured genius.
