Frank Sinatra : An Extraordinary Life

Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and the Beatles transformed the music of the twentieth century, and Frank Sinatra is the grandmaster of the Great American Songbook.

Many would say he was the greatest entertainer of the century.

No one questions Frank Sinatra's supreme vocal ability.

What makes him endlessly fascinating is the speculation about his private life - for example, his tempestuous personality, his dealings with the press, his treatment of his wives and girlfriends, his association with prostitutes, his drunken escapades, his fist fighting and his links with the Mafia.

How could a talent for such sensitive performances be matched with such outrageous behaviour?

FRANK SINATRA: AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE, will sift through the evidence and provide a level-headed assessment of Frank Sinatra's life and career.

With remarkable stories about Sinatra on every page, there is an exceptional cast of characters, and much of the book is extremely funny.
