Ayn Rand and the World She Made by Anne C. Heller is a comprehensive biography that sheds new light on the life of one of the most significant figures of the 20th century. Based on original research in Russia and scores of interviews with those who knew her, this book offers an eye-opening portrait of Ayn Rand's life, from her childhood in Bolshevik Russia to her years as a Hollywood screenwriter and the rise and fall of the cult that worshipped her in the 1950s and 1960s. Heller's biography explores the complexities of Rand's life and work, revealing the controversies and contradictions that have made her both fascinating and divisive. With meticulous research and insight, Heller brings to life a woman who has had a profound impact on literature, politics, and popular culture.
