Ross Lockridge, the author of the spectacularly best-selling  Raintree County,  and Thomas Heggen, the creator of  Mister Roberts,  both were thrust in the 1940s into unexpected fame and money. Each was young and inexperienced in the ways of the world. John Leggett explores their lives, their loves, their friendships, and their writing and publishing experiences to discover what ultimately and tragically failed them.  Ross and Tom  portrays two gifted writers and their final descent into that Fitzgeraldian crack-up where in the real dark night of the soul it is always three o''clock in the morning.","brand":"Hachette Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017742319959,"sku":"9780306809927","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780306809927.jpg?v=1750774522","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ross-and-tom-two-american-tragedies-9780306809927","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
