Sinatra: Behind the Legend

Frank Sinatra was one of the most influential and talented entertainers the world has ever seen. He was also one of the most complex - generous, a loyal friend, a champion of causes, a devoted son and father, a womanizer and a volatile, loud-mouthed tough-guy. From the women he loved, including Lauren Bacall, Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow and Marilyn Monroe, to his ties to the Rat Pack, and from his mob connections to his friendship with the Kennedys, Frank's life was full of excitement, danger and passion.

Acclaimed biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli now gets to the heart of the man as he reveals how the skinny Italian kid from New Jersey with a voice and a dream became an international superstar. Sinatra: Behind the Legend is based on many years of in-depth research, including hundreds of interviews. The result is a compelling and honest tribute to a man whose songs touched a chord in all of us.

'Even if you're not a fan of Ol' Blue Eyes, Taraborrelli's mesmerizing Sinatra is worth reading to remind yourself that, at its very best, showbiz biography can be both an art and a craft'
