More than half a century after her death, Marilyn Monroe is arguably still one of the most famous people in the world. Her life was a contrast of public brilliance and private misery, her death a tragedy suffused by dark questions - about her relations with President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert.

Drawing on more than 600 first-hand interviews, Anthony Summers offers the classic, definitive biography of a woman who captivated the world. Marilyn's tragic story is clouded by gossip-reporting more than almost any other. GODDESS, however, delivers new, fully documented yet exciting fact.

About the Author

Anthony Summers gained his degree at Oxford and joined the BBC. He covered the wars in Vietnam and the Middle East and smuggled cameras into the Soviet Union to interview Andrei Sakharov when he won the Nobel prize. Married with 2 sons, he now lives in Ireland in an ex-ferryman's cottage by the river Blackwater.
