Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Clarks: An American Phenomenon
In his portrayal Of personality the author gives no sign Of being swayed by any kind Of feeling for the subject - either love or loathing; the only emotion apparent is loyalty to the truth. It may be that the author's cool matter-of-fact setting forth Of the most damaging truths may launch a new model-of biography, viz., social biography. I mean the account Of a man's life, performance and in?uence, not from the point Of view Of his family, friends or satellites nor yet that Of his opponents or detractors, but strictly With reference to their social significance.
I am, Of course, in no position to test any Of theblasting statements this book contains, so for not one Of them do I vouch. Nevertheless, I find these pages convincing. The author makes charges which would undoubtedly lay him open to ruin by many successful libel suits Were he not in a position to substantiate them.
