Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Explorer, war hero, filmmaker, and cinema pioneer Merian C. Cooperthe adventurer who created King Kongwas truly larger than life. Pictures cannot be made from an executives desk, Coop declared, and he did more than talk the talkhe walked the walk to the far corners of the globe, with a motion picture camera in tow, in an era when those corners were truly unknown, untamed, and unforgiving.Coopers place in history is assured, thanks not only to the monstrous gorilla from Skull Island but because the story of Kongs creator is even bigger and bolder than the beast he made into a cultural icon. Spellbound since boyhood by tales of lifethreatening adventure and exotic locales, Cooper plunged again and again into harrowing expeditions that took him to places not yet civilized by modern man.Cooper was one of the first bomber pilots in World War I. After the war, he helped form the famous Kosciuszko Squadron in battletorn Poland. He then turned his attention to producing documentary films that chronicled his hairraising encounters with savage warriors, maneating tigers, nomadic tribes, and elephant stampedes.In addition to producing King Kong, he was the first to team Fred Astaire with Ginger Rogers, arranged Katharine Hepburns screen test, collaborated with John Ford on Hollywoods greatest Westerns, and then changed the face of film forever with Cinerama, the original virtual reality. He returned to military service during World War II, serving with General Claire Chennault in China, flying missions into the heart of enemy territory.This book is a stunning tribute to a twofisted visionary who packed a multitude of lifetimes into eighty remarkable years. The first comprehensive biography of this unique man and his amazing time, its the tale of someone whose greatest desire was always to be living dangerously.
