The legacy of silver screen tycoon Samuel Goldwyn comes to vivid life in this acclaimed biography from the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author of

and
Max Perkins: Editor of Genius

He was the premier dream-maker of his era—a fierce independent force in a time when studios ruled. He was a producer of silver-screen sagas who may have been, in the words of
