Joe DiMaggio: The Hero’s Life by Richard Ben Cramer
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 7.59MB
Overview: Joe DiMaggio was, at every turn, one man we could look at who made us feel good.
In the hard-knuckled thirties, he was the immigrant boy who made it big — and spurred the New York Yankees to a new era of dynasty. He was Broadway Joe, the icon of elegance, the man who wooed and won Marilyn Monroe — the most beautiful girl America could dream up.
Joe DiMaggio was a mirror of our best self. And he was also the loneliest hero we ever had.
In this groundbreaking biography, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Richard Ben Cramer presents a shocking portrait of a complicated, enigmatic life. The story that DiMaggio never wanted told, tells of his grace — and greed; his dignity, pride — and hidden shame. It is a story that sweeps through the twentieth century, bringing to light not just America’s national game, but the birth (and the price) of modern national celebrity.
