The story of Frank Sinatra's second act, Sinatra finds the Chairman on
top of the world, riding high after an Oscar victory--and firmly
reestablished as the top recording artist of his day. Following Sinatra
from the mid-1950s to his death in 1998, Kaplan uncovers the man behind
the myth, revealing by turns the peerless singer, the (sometimes)
powerful actor, the business mogul, the tireless lover, and--of
course--the close associate of the powerful and infamous. It was in
these decades that the enduring legacy of Frank Sinatra was forged, and
Kaplan vividly captures "Ol' Blue Eyes" in his later years. The sequel
to the New York Times best-selling Frank, here is the concluding
volume of the definitive biography of "The Entertainer of the Century."
