Product Information

The life of Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most remarkable success stories in the U.S. Here is a young man from an Austrian village who became the greatest bodybuilder in history, a behemoth who even today in retirement is the dominating figure in the sport. Here is an immigrant with a heavy accent and a four syllable last name, who marries a Kennedy princess and becomes the number one movie star in the world, an icon known and celebrated everywhere. Here is a political novice with no administrative experience who becomes governor of California in one of the most unusual and controversial elections in American history, and confounds his critics by proving an effective, popular leader. Leamer shows how and why this man of willful ambition and limitless drive achieved his unprecedented accomplishments. As the author of a celebrated trilogy on the Kennedy family, Leamer has access to a unique array of sources. Leamer traveled with candidate Schwarzenegger during the gubernatorial campaign. He has interviewed Governor Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver, and their closest friends and associates, most of whom had never talked to an author before. The result is a startlingly intimate book, the pages studded with news making revelations. This book of passionate intensity captures a Schwarzenegger unlike any other public figure of our time, a unique political/cultural figure, his time in Sacramento only a way station on a journey where no one has traveled before. The book captures the personal Schwarzenegger, too, and the story of his single days, marriage, and family life. No one who reads this book will ever see Schwarzenegger in the same way again.

"No American immigrant's tale of our time is more extraordinary than that of the man who is not only Mr. Universe Emeritus but also Hollywood's beloved Terminator, California's popular Governor, the star Republican of the Kennedy family and the nation's possible future President: Arnold Schwarzenegger. Charting Arnold's rise from the backwoods of Austria to the pinnacle of success, Laurence Leamer has written a modern Horatio Alger story that guides us through the hidden rooms of bodybuilding, action movies and finally politics in America in the 21st century. Rich with new interviews and sources, the book illuminates not only Schwarzenegger's life, but the very process of achieving fame itself. Utterly fascinating, unflinchingly candid and relentlessly readable, "Fantastic" will be the standard by which all other works on Arnold Schwarzenegger are judged."--Nigel Hamilton, author of "JFK: Reckless Youth" "" "Balanced and insightful...a splendid account."--"The New York Times Book Review" "A serious attempt to present a balanced picture of a man who, despite increasing doubts of Californians, is arguably America's most popular (and certainly most intriguing) Republican politician."--"The Economist""" "Provides rich insights into the conditions that have made Schwarzenegger what he seems to be, material that will no doubt form the basis for any subsequent biographies.... Leamer provides extensive details...persuasive."--"The Washington Post" "" "ÝLeamerš has done a splendid job...his book is fair and balanced."--"The New York Sun""" "ÝAš painstaking biography...Leamer achieves a depth of nuance."--"The Daily Telegraph" (London) "Delicious...fascinating."--"People "magazine "An impressive and substantial piece of work..."--"Sunday Mail" (London) "Absorbing"-"The Sunday Telegraph" (London) "An even -handed assessment of the warrior king."--"The London Sunday Times" "An exhaustively researched and richly detailed book."--"The Sacramento Bee" "Ý"Fantastic"š sorts through the pulp and the fiction on a search for the real Arnold and...finds him.... Leamer skillfully sails between the idolaters and the iconoclasts, heading toward the multitude of readers interested in Arnold's character and life."--"Booklist" "" "Leamer is an assiduous researcher, and a master of narrative...FANTASTIC will certainly stand as a serious, fair-minded examination of a paradigm of self-invention, and a man whose success says something serious about America."--"Cox News Service" "Despite the cooperation Mr. Leamer received, his book is not hagiography. All his subject's lowlife moments are presented, from his cruel jokes and harassing sexual overtures to his obsessive narcissism."--"Wall Street Journal" "Laurence Leamer's lavish, well-researched rendition of the post-fiction, meta-narrative that is Arnold is an amazing feat."--"New York Press" "(Leamer) is not starry-eyed about his subject - he really rather likes him, which makes his objectivity all the more commendable."--"The Financial Times" "Through Leamer's exceptional access to Schwarzenegger, the reader gains a more complete understanding of who he is. FANTASTIC is a rare opportunity to read a fairly portrayed account of Arnold, replete with entertaining stories and characters." --"The Weekly Standard", "No American immigrant's tale of our time is more extraordinary than that of the man who is not only Mr. Universe Emeritus but also Hollywood's beloved Terminator, California's popular Governor, the star Republican of the Kennedy family and the nation's possible future President: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I didn't see the "returns not accepted" inclusion and sent this back at the post office. Just to let you know. I wasn't real sure if I wanted to keep it or not.
