"In this biography, Richard Ben Cramer presents a stunning, often shocking portrait of the hero nobody knew. It is a story that sweeps through the twentieth century, bringing to light along the way not just America's national game, but her movie stars, mobsters, pols, writers...the birth (and the price) of modern national celebrity.". "This is the story Joe DiMaggio never wanted to tell - and never wanted anyone else to tell. It is the story of his grace - and greed; his dignity, pride - and hidden shame. After five years of relentless reporting, Cramer brings alive, for the first time, the story of DiMaggio the man."--BOOK JACKET.
