A breathtaking biography of one of America's greatest icons, baseball star Joe DiMaggio.
Richard Ben Cramer captures DiMaggio's grace and power on the field; the dignity and pride that elicited the admiration of millions; and the marriage to Marilyn Monroe, celebrated as a real-life fairy tale. But Cramer also exposes the man no one knew - a "hero" driven by greed, shaped by media adulation, and plagued by hidden shame. A story of the birth of modern celebrity, it brilliantly illuminates the way fame builds and destroys.
