Ann Sperber and Eric Lax offer the revealing, intimate, definitive biography of the legendary Humphrey Bogart, detailing the arc and span of his personal and professional life—a story of toil, tragedy, and triumph. Sperber and Lax exploreBogie’s abusive childhood and the three unsuccessful marriages that preceded the lasting love he found with Lauren Bacall, and plumb the depths of his arduous career working as Warner Brothers’ go-to drudge actor for thirteen years of B-list films before rising to stardom and ultimately achieving his place amongst Hollywood royalty. The Los Angeles Times calls Bogart "an immediate triumph . . . so rich in its research, so compelling in its writing, itis an absorbing human story of the motion picture business in the age of Humphrey Bogart."
