Arthur Miller has been delivering powerful drama to the stage for decades with such masterpieces as Death of a Salesman, the Crucible, and a View from the Bridge. Yet remarkably, no one has until now told the full story of Miller's own extraordinary life -- a rich life, much of it shrouded from public view. To achieve this groundbreaking portrait of the artist and the man, the award-winning drama critic and biographer Martin Gottfried masterfully draws on interviews, on Miller's life-long correspondence, and on the annotated scripts and notebooks that reveal Miller's creative process in stunning detail. From Miller's childhood and adolescence in Depression-era New York to his heroic defiance of the House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy years to his unlikely pairing with Marilyn Monroe, here is a highly acclaimed book that is "an illuminating and profound picture" (Publishers Weekly).
