Description

Bill Wilson's life and work had a profound impact on millions of people, and his legacy continues to be felt today. This biography, written by acclaimed author Susan Cheever, offers a deeply personal and human portrait of a man who founded Alcoholics Anonymous. Drawing from personal letters, diaries, AA archives, and interviews, Cheever's account provides a unique insight into Wilson's life and the creation of AA. Cheever's own experiences with alcoholism inform her writing, lending a level of authenticity to the story. The result is a rich and nuanced portrait of a complex individual, one who struggled with his own demons and yet went on to make a profound difference in the world. This biography is the first fully documented account of Bill Wilson and Alcoholics Anonymous, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the organization and its founder.
