“the best biography on the actor...so refreshing—and sorely needed...it’s NOT just another Flynn book...the most well thought out volume on Flynn...research is quite good...there’s some outstanding material here...the most balanced take on him ever achieved by an author....the book’s photos, 85 in all, are to die for”—Classic Images; “excellent”—Film & History; “excellent...comprehensive filmography”—Penguin Comics; “long awaited...very informative”—Western Mail; “illustrated with rare and previously unpublished photographs, this objective text illuminates the life and work of a complex, ultimately self-destructive idol”—The Society of Midland Authors; “it is good...very well written, extensively researched, and lovingly created book...wonderful flow of words, that makes disconnected information sources come alive...this book is absolutely BRILLIANT...very thorough yet not overburdened with detail...reads well and easily...McNulty has artistically crafted one fascinating and elegant read”—maskiflynn.co.uk; “the best single book on Errol Flynn yet to be written...a straight-from-the-shoulder account...long, thoughtful and satisfying book...a window into three of the most crucial decades of the twentieth century...research that went into the making of this book is impressive, to say the least...useful...photos are excellent...among the book’s most impressive qualities is its accuracy...meticulously written and just as meticulously documented. The style throughout is a joy to read...the final effect of McNulty’s treatment is overwhelmingly positive...McNulty has gifted the world with an encyclopedic account that provides the first fully documented, carefully composed, and ultimately sympathetic reflection on Flynn’s life and work...the evident care and love that went into it will more than repay the reader, who will come back to it again and again in the countless hours of future delight that lie ahead”—WarriorFilmmakers.com; “as compelling as a great novel...an affectionate yet unflinching look at the life and films of a real-life swashbuckler”—Max Allan Collins, author of Road to Perdition.
