Description: In the first biography of the actor widely recognized as one of the best of his generation, Dan Bischoff offers a fascinating look at James Gandolfini -- his complicated relationship to his roots, to the role that made him wealthy beyond his imagination, and to American notions of masculinity, power and fame.  Even as he scaled the heights of his profession, Gandolfini remained dedicated more to craft than career.  This is a multilayered portrait of a complex, talented, beloved man who has joined the ranks of America's iconic actors.
