Going to Extremes

Autor Joe Mcginniss
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2010
This is the fourth edition of a work that always has been controversial in Alaska. Yet, it is an important and highly readable classic work that captures a portrait frozen in time of a raw state in turmoil during the oil boom. McGinnis went north to find out if there was anything left of the "last frontier." He found "mind-bending contradictions," as a previous publisher put it--greed, waste, addictions, and racism, among other things, that contrasted with an awesome untamed natural beauty and an honest, open, and independent spirit of the people.

Notă biografică

At age 26, newspaper reporter Joe McGinnis found himself the youngest living writer ever to have appeared on the New York Times bestseller list following publication The Selling of the President, which described in fascinating detail the marketing of Richard Nixon in the 1968 campaign. McGinniss has published 11 books on a variety of subjects, including the acclaimed Going to Extremes; a trio of best-selling true-crime books, each of which was made into a TV miniseries; a book about Teddy Kennedy; and the immensely popular Miracle of Castel di Sangro describing the break-out season of a soccer team from a tiny town in Italy.
