The Washington Post * Los Angeles Times * Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

The story of Frank Sinatra's second act, Sinatra finds the Chairman on top of the world, riding high after an Oscar victory--and firmly reestablished as the top recording artist of his day. Following Sinatra from the mid-1950s to his death in 1998, Kaplan uncovers the man behind the myth, revealing by turns the peerless singer, the (sometimes) powerful actor, the business mogul, the tireless lover, and--of course--the close associate of the powerful and infamous. It was in these decades that the enduring legacy of Frank Sinatra was forged, and Kaplan vividly captures "Ol' Blue Eyes" in his later years. The sequel to the New York Times best-selling Frank, here is the concluding volume of the definitive biography of "The Entertainer of the Century."

For more than three decades, James Kaplan has been writing about people and ideas in business and popular culture, as well as famous fiction (The Best American Short Stories). Several magazines have published his pieces and reviews, as well as more than a hundred big profiles, including The New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Esquire, and New York. Pearl's Progress and Two Men from Verona, a New York Times Notable Book in 1998, are two of his works. The Airport, You Cannot Be Serious (coauthored with John McEnroe), Dean & Me: A Love Story (coauthored with Jerry Lewis), and Frank: The Voice, the first volume in his definitive biography of Frank Sinatra, are among his nonfiction works. With his wife and three sons, he resides in Westchester, New York.
