About the book

This brillant father-son biography explores the scandalous life of movie star Errol Flynn and his son's equally doomed and glamorous life as a war photographer in Vietnam. (Review) : Literary critic and biographer Meyers traces the tragic similarities between Hollywood legend Errol Flynn and his son Sean, a freewheeling war photographer who died in the Vietnamese conflict. Errol Flynn's decadent lifestyle is legendary, and semifictional accounts abound, including his own My Wicked, Wick Ways.

First sentence: On April 6, 1970, the war photographer Sean Flynn-the brave, charismatic son of Errol Flynn-rode his motorcycle into a roadblock, was captured by the Vietcong and vanished forever into the jungle.
