Running the Race: Brian Steel Wills

The Public Face Of Charlton Heston

Anyone interested in film and Hollywood’s depiction of historical events must come to terms with Charlton Heston.  No actor played more famous characters, from Moses and Michelangelo to Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson, and Brian Wills provides a compelling treatment of Heston’s long as successful career.  Apart from roles and films, Running the Race also conveys the complexity, too often overlooked of Heston’s political stances and actions.  This insightful and enjoyable book should find an appreciative audience.
