    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&quot;John Wayne remains a constant in American popular culture. Middle America grew up with him in the late 1920s and 1930s, went to war with him in the 1940s, matured with him in the 1950s, and kept the faith with him in the 1960s and 1970s. . . . In his person and in the persona he so carefully constructed, middle America saw itself, its past, and its future. John Wayne was his country&#8217;s alter ego.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thus begins John Wayne: American, a biography bursting with vitality and revealing the changing scene in Hollywood and America from the Great Depression through the Vietnam War. During a long movie career, John Wayne defined the role of the cowboy and soldier, the gruff man of decency, the hero who prevailed when the chips were down. But who was he, really? Here is the first substantive, serious view of a contradictory private and public figure.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Thoroughly detailed account of Wayne's life has its flag waving moments, but also portrays his contradictions and flaws.  Not a muck-raking or expose, it also balances his film career with his personal life nicely and goes behind the scenes to describe his movie projects.
