Most of us can recall 'Four score and seven years ago', but much of what we know about Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and what it has to say about the Civil War itself, has been lost since we left school. Using Lincoln's words as a keystone the book shows us the events through the eyes of those who lived these dramatic events, drawing from first hand accounts from everyone from soldiers to slaves, as well as through dramatizations with key figures during pivotal events.

In this revealing tell-all, Band details the dizzying heights and catastrophic depths of his decades in showbiz. Filled with revealing cameos from Hollywood's A-list, B-list, and Z-list, Confessions of a Puppetmaster is a wild romp through Hollywood's decidedly un-Oscar-worthy underbelly.
