Pete Duel Reviews

Exhaustively researched, penetrating, but compassionate." Pop Culture Classics

Reviews of the first edition:

"Explores his life and death, and does it exceedingly well...a must." Western Clippings

"It is not the usual superficial adoring screen bio. I am impressed with the depth of the portrait. There is a serious psychological study in the narrative of his life." Frank Price (former President of Universal TV)
