Book Review of Bing Crosby Hollow Man

Bing Crosby Hollow Man
reviewed on + 104 more book reviews


Bing Crosby was enormously talented, but with an indolent and irresponsible bent. He was also intelligent and cunning, and created for himself an enchanting image and a legend that was so often repeated in authorized biographies that it was accepted as fact.

Now, in the compelling biography by Donald Shepherd and Robert E. Slatzer, the image is shattered and the legend stripped away - revealing the shocking truth about the man and the innocent people who suffered immeasurably for having touched him.
