Book Synopsis

The definitive account of the legendary Francis Ford Coppola's decades-long dream to reinvent American film-making, if not the entire world.

Supremely entertaining.' New York Times

Mouth-watering . . . Sizzingly vivid and compulsive.' Daily Telegraph

Acclaimed writer Sam Wasson weaves together an extraordinary portrait of Coppola, having conducted hundreds of interviews with the director and those who have worked closely with him. A man who is charming, brilliant, but also plagued by restlessness, recklessness and a desire to operate perpetually at the extremes. It is a story inextricably bound up in the making of one of the greatest quixotic masterpieces ever attempted, Apocalypse Now. That story, already the stuff of legend, has never been fully told until this extraordinary book..
