<p><b>A <i>New Yorker</i> Best Book of the Year, <i>New York Times </i>"Editors Choice," and <i>Los Angeles Times </i>"Must Read Book"</b></p><p><b>"This is the biography of Clint Eastwood we've been waiting for." — Sir Christopher Frayling, author of <i>Sergio Leone</i></b></p><p><b>From the acclaimed film critic and <i>New York Times</i> bestselling biographer of Paul Newman, a revelatory portrait of Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood, the most prolific and versatile actor-director in movie history and an imposing icon of American culture for six decades.</b></p><p>"This fine-grained and deeply researched unfolding of Eastwood’s life and career . . . reveal[s] fascinating truths about Eastwood’s art, and about cinema itself.” —Richard Brody, <i>The New Yorker</i></p><p>C-L-I-N-T. That single short, sharp syllable has stood as an emblem of American manhood and morality and sheer bloody-minded will, on-screen and off-screen, for more than sixty years. Whether he’s facing down bad guys on a Western street (Old West or new, no matter), staring through the lens of a camera, or accepting one of his movies' thirteen Oscars (including two for Best Picture), he is as blunt, curt, and solid as his name, a star of the old-school stripe <i>and </i>one of the most accomplished directors of his time, a man of rock and iron and brute force: Clint.</p><p>To read the story of Clint Eastwood is to understand nearly a century of American culture. No Hollywood figure has so completely and complexly stood inside the changing climates of post–World War II America. At age ninety-five, he has lived a tumultuous century and embodied much of his time and many of its contradictions.</p><p>We picture Clint squinting through cigarillo smoke in <i>A Fistful of Dol­lars </i>or <i>The Good, the Bad and the Ugly</i>; imposing rough justice at the point of a .44 Magnum in <i>Dirty Harry</i>; sowing vengeance in <i>The Outlaw Josey Wales </i>or <i>Pale Rider </i>or <i>Unforgiven</i>; grudgingly traini
