Publisher's Note
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Richard Ben Cramer, here is the definitive story of Joe DiMaggio's life--the story that DiMaggio never would tell. This groundbreaking biography of DiMaggio--from his first game with the Yankees in the 1930's through his rise to national hero status, and onto his lonely and mysterious death last year--reveals startling information about his life, but becomes much more than one man's story. In Cramer's hands, DiMaggio's complicated life becomes, too, the story of America's media machine, the invention of a national celebrity in America, and the ways in which fame can both build and destroy.

Industry reviews
"Cramer is brutal in dismantling the image that the "hero machine" created during the sixty-two years of DiMaggio's public life. He has only praise however, for the character of the DiMaggio who played baseball...."
New York Review of Books - Russell Baker (11/16/2000)

"Cramer is a determined, skilled researcher--some of the books best parts are its context sections: the context of San Francisco in the 1920s as Joe...was growing up there...the context of major league baseball just before and after World War II...."
Columbia Journalism Review - Steve Weinberg
