Description: "One of the most influential figures in American music and pop-culture, Johnny Cash is an icon to people of all ages. In Cash's first-ever authorized biography, author Steve Turner sifts the man from the legend and presents a picture of the often contradictory figure with unflinching honesty." "The Man Called Cash follows the star on his stumbling journey from the cotton fields of Arkansas to the drawing room of presidents. It details his self-destructiveness and brushes with the law, as well as his humanitarian generosity and eventual acceptance as an American icon, all the while keeping in view the deep, enduring faith that informed his life and work. We see Johnny Cash not only as a performer and recording artist but as a neighbor, church member, fisherman, father, brother, husband, and friend."--BOOK JACKET.
