The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lincoln at Gettysburg brings his eloquence, wit, and on-target perceptions of American life and politics to this fascinating, well-drawn portrait of a twentieth-century hero. In this work of great originality—the biography of an idea—Garry Wills shows how John Wayne came to embody American values and influenced our culture to a degree unmatched by any other public figure of his time. In Wills's hands, Wayne's story is transformed into a compelling narrative about the intersection of popular entertainment and political realities in mid-twentieth-century America.
