Book Synopsis
John Wayne remains a constant in American popular culture. Middle America grew up with him in late 1920s and 1930s, went to war with him in 1940s, matured with him in 1950s, and kept the faith with him in the 1960s and 1970s... This is a biography that reveals the changing scene in Hollywood and America from Great Depression through Vietnam War.

Trade Review
"All students of Hollywood will find [this biography of John Wayne] fascinating and rewarding."—London Times Literary Supplement
"Writing in a plain-spoken style that avoids both fanzine and academic cant, the authors nicely retell the story of Wayne’s relationship with John Ford, the director most responsible for setting him apart from the gunslinging crowd."—New York Times Book Review
"Recommended for all film collections."—Library Journal
