Almost everything you know about Mickey Mouse is wrong: he wasn&;t Disney&;s first star; Steamboat Willie wasn&;t his first movie; Mickey wasn&;t a nice guy&;and Walt Disney didn&;t invent him.

In 1928, two very different best friends invented Mickey Mouse. And the success tore them apart. Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks&;s friendship is a story of betrayal, love, war, money, power, tragedy, intrigue, humor, despair, and hope. You&;ll love them both&;when you don&;t want to drop anvils on their heads. Discover the men behind the mouse, and the mystery behind the magic.

A Mouse Divided is a stirring depiction of two underdogs. One invented Mickey Mouse&;and one said he did. You&;ll love Walt Disney more than you ever thought possible&;until you don&;t. And you&;ll sympathize with Walt&;s friend-turned-rival Ub Iwerks, always in Walt&;s shadow.

This true story of how the Disney empire was made is a captivating page-turner, endlessly fascinating and revealing. And it&;s never been fully told&;until now.
