More About the Author

I have the privilege of doing work (i.e., writing books) that I thoroughly enjoy, so it is no real chore to be active on my book projects seven days a week. Doing research is much like being a detective, bringing as many elements of the subject's life to light and assessing how each piece fits into the puzzle of a celebrity's biography.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mean-Spirited Biography, January 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The George Raft file: the unauthorized biography, (Hardcover)

Although the authors provide good factual information, they are never able to pierce the psyche of George Raft. The book is a mean-spirited, one-dimensional view of George Raft; nothing more. A later biography by Yablonski is much, much more insightful and lacks the hateful judgements pronounced in this book.
