The first definitive biography of a Hollywood legend. More than other actor of his time Humphrey Bogart was an icon. For two eventful decades his screen roles reflected the national mood, from the gangster-ridden 1930s of the petrified forest through the wartime escapism of Casablanca and theMaltese Falcon to the postwar alienation of in a Lonely place.

Murrow is the biography of America’s foremost broadcast journalist, Edward R. Murrow. At twenty-nine, he was the prototype of a species new to communications―an eyewitness to history with power to reach millions. His wartime radio reports from London rooftops brought the world into American homes for the first time. His legendary television documentary See It Now exposed us to the scandals and injustices within our own country. Friend of Presidents, conscience of the people, Murrow remained an enigma―idealistic, creative, self-destructive. In this portrait, based on twelve years of research, A. M. Sperber reveals the complexity and achievements of a man whose voice, intelligence, and honesty inspired a nation during its most profound and vulnerable times.
