About this book
The definitive portrait of one of the most important cultural figures in American history.

In his superb biography, Neal Gabler shows us how, over the course of two decades, Disney revolutionized the entertainment industry. In a way that was unprecedented and later widely imitated, he built a synergistic empire that combined film, television, theme parks, music, book publishing, and merchandise.
Walt Disney is a revelation of both the work and the man--of both the remarkable accomplishment and the hidden life. From the Trade Paperback edition.
