The biography of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who arrived in America at the age of 21 from an obscure village in Austria, armed with little more than a perfectly muscled body and a fierce ambition. Despite... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I was intrigued to read this book when I learned the biographer was prevented from appearing on ABC's Good Morning America by Arnold's publicist, the all powerful Pat Kingsley. It is a well researched and written book with no agenda. I held back a star because his journey to America was fascinating and the hunt is more exciting than the kill. It made me respect him more what sacrifices he made to come to this country and I pass no judgement about being a "boy toy" to a septegerian Spanish prince as a means to get out of Austria. Even it was only posing, and no touching. He used whatever he had to get to America. He has nothing to be ashamed of and his children will know if he did not do what he did they would not be here to judge him. It was a big mistake to kill this book it will one day idemnify him as a dreamer who took action.

you don't really know what his life is like until you have read this book. All the things that he had to go through as a child, and all the things he had to go through growing up will surprise you. This book gave me a different perspective on his life.
