He was Broadway Joe, the icon of elegance, the man who wooed and won Marilyn Monroe—the most beautiful girl America could dream up.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Joe DiMaggio was a mirror of our best self. And he was also the loneliest hero we ever had.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n In this groundbreaking biography, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Richard Ben Cramer presents a shocking portrait of a complicated, enigmatic life. The story that DiMaggio never wanted told, tells of his grace—and greed; his dignity, pride—and hidden shame. It is a story that sweeps through the twentieth century, bringing to light not just America's national game, but the birth (and the price) of modern national celebrity.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871657316510,"sku":"HPC-9780684865478","price":42.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780684865478.jpg?v=1779618389","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780684865478","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
