A New York Times Bestselling Author
In the aftermath of World War II, Charlie Chaplin was criticized for being politically liberal and internationalist in outlook. Politics aside, Chaplin had another problem: He had been married three times and had had numerous affairs. His sexuality became a convenient way for those who opposed his politics to condemn him. In Charlie Chaplin vs. America, Scott Eyman explores the life and times of the movie genius who brought us such masterpieces as City Lights and Modern Times. This is a perceptive, insightful portrait of Chaplin and of an America consumed by political turmoil.
