Product Information

From the best-selling author ofGoddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe,the first fully documented, comprehensively researched, birth-to-death biography-the definitive life-of Frank Sinatra. Sinatrais the story of an American icon who held the imagination of millions for more than fifty years and whose influence in popular music was unsurpassed in the twentieth century. As a child, he said, he had heard "symphonies from the universe" in his head. No one could have imagined where those sounds would lead him. Tracing the arc of this incredible life, from the humble beginnings in Hoboken to the twilight years as a living legend in Malibu,Sinatrafollows a career built on raw talent, sheer willpower-and criminal connections. Drawing on a treasure trove of documents and interviews, Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan reveal stunning new information about Sinatra's links to such Mafia figures as Sam Giancana and Lucky Luciano. And we see for the first time where the Mafia connection began, how and why it lasted, and how it impinged on others, not least President John F. Kennedy. Here, too, is the core of the private Sinatra-alternately caustic and sympathetic-that the singer so long concealed. The heartbreaking truth about his passion for Ava Gardner emerges from never-before-published conversations with Gardner herself. In exclusive, intimate interviews, the women who loved Sinatra-some of them unknown to the public until now-share memories of the joy and pain of their relationships with him. And we learn what it was like to be the friend of a man who was generous and loyal to a fault, yet-as some of his fellow Rat Packers discovered-who could turn abruptly into a vindictive brute. Dramatic, eye-opening, and unfailingly fair-minded,Sinatrais masterful biography: the revelatory story of a brilliant artist and an infinitely complex man.
