*** <br> <br>THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER<br> <br>"I loved it. An amazing book." - Louis Theroux<br><br>"A rip-roaring read. It left me breathless." - Chris Evans, Virgin Radio<br><br>"Raw, savagely honest, as dramatic as any of his movies." - Mail on Sunday<br><br>"A tremendous book - readable, funny and harrowing." - The Sunday Times<br> <br>"Riveting." - The New York Times<br> <br> "A fascinating exposure of Stone's inner life and his powerful, all devouring energy and genius that drove him to become one of the world's greatest filmmakers." - Sir Anthony Hopkins<br><br>"... a Hollywood movie in itself." - Spike Lee<br><br>Chasing the Light is Oliver Stone's intimate and ground-breaking filmmaker's memoir - and a razor-sharp insider's tour of Hollywood during its 70s and 80s upheaval.<br><br>With disarming honesty, he takes us from a childhood on New York's Upper East Side through the combat zones of Vietnam, inside the clandestine worlds of Chinatown's gang lords and Miami's cocaine trade - and behind the glittering and often drug-addled Los Angeles movie society scene.<br><br>And from Midnight Express through Scarface, and Salvador he discovers his own dogged determination, a marked rebellious streak and a drive to make controversial films that matter. How he strung together the realistic, radical and ultimately box office smash Platoon is in itself a 10-year adventure of financial intrigue, perseverance and near-death experiences that culminates in the depths of the Philippine jungle with Stone pushing himself, the crew and young cast almost beyond breaking point.<br><br>Written fearlessly with intense detail and colour, this is what it's like to make films on the edge.
