More reviews ... "There are so many takeaways from this volume I don’t know where to begin... Charlie Chaplin had so many facets that it wouldn’t be possible for one author to explore them all in detail, but by casting a narrower net—and allowing for digressions—Eyman has produced a gem of a book." -- Leonard Maltin

"Mr. Eyman, who has written biographies of Cary Grant and John Wayne, captures the feverish mood of the Red Scare. He also makes (but doesn’t belabor) the point that a lot of the same furious energy is swirling in our society today."

-- Wall St. Journal
