For more than four years, Dennis McDougal interviewed over 350 people who knew the man with the giant dark horn-rimmed glasses -- colleagues, relatives, rivals -- and drew on tens of thousands of pages of documents to produce this extraordinary and first-ever portrait of a legend and his times, a book that the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e called \"thoroughly reported and engrossing\" and that the \u003ci\u003eDaily News\u003c\/i\u003e called, simply, \"a bombshell.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDennis McDougal\u003c\/b\u003e, an investigative reporter for the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e for more than a decade, has won scores of journalistic honors, including the National Headliners Award and several Associated Press awards.
