Official synopsis Publisher
The greatest icon in the history of cinema, Charlie Chaplin lived one of the most dramatic rags to riches stories ever told.

This engrossing and definitive work, the only biography written with full access to Chaplin’s archives, tells the whole story of a brilliant, complex man.
