Description
Pete Hamill's tribute to an American icon returns with a new introduction by the author. This unique homage explores the essence of Sinatra, examining his art and legend from within.
Shaped by Prohibition, the Depression, and war, Francis Albert Sinatra became the troubadour of urban loneliness. His songs enabled millions to tell their own stories, providing an entire generation with a sense of tradition and pride.
A rich and touching portrait that lingers like a beautiful song, this book is a lasting tribute to a legendary figure.
