Fantastic is a lesson in how to succeed. It shows how and why this man of willful ambition and limitless drive achieved his unprecedented accomplishments. The book is startlingly intimate, written with a novelist’s panache, and an historian’s rigor.
Laurence Leamer, one of America’s preeminent biographers, has found his most fascinating subject ever. Leamer has extensively interviewed both Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, Schwarzenegger's closest associates, including his elementary school friends in Austria, his mentors, bodybuilding competitors, lifelong friends, first serious girlfriend, lovers, his longtime publicist and agent, producers, directors, political friends and foes, many of whom have never before been interviewed.
In this groundbreaking biography, Leamer captures the public and private Schwarzenegger, who could change the face of politics in our country. What is most extraordinary is how much the life of this most famous of men was unknown and uncharted until Fantastic. Here is the poignant story of Schwarzenegger’s traumatic relationship with his father and how his first mentor, a Jewish partisan in WW II, helped shape the youth. Here is the intimate story of Schwarzenegger’s first great love and the five years the couple lived together. And here is the passionate account of Schwarzenegger’s decade long affair with Maria Shriver and their marriage.
