Book Description
Publication Date: 19 May 2011
When Bobby Fischer died in January 2008, he left behind a confounding
legacy. Everyone knew the basics of his life: he began as a brilliant
youngster, then became the pride of American chess, then took a sharp turn,
struggling with paranoia and mental illness. But nobody truly understood
him. What motivated him from such a young age, and what was the source of
his remarkable intellect? How could a man so ambivalent about money and fame
be so driven to succeed? What drew this man of Jewish descent to fulminate
against Jews, and how was it that a mind so famously disciplined could
unravel so completely? From his meteoric rise, to an utterly dominant prime,
to his eventual descent into madness, the book draws upon hundreds of newly
discovered documents and recordings, and numerous firsthand interviews
conducted with those who knew Fischer best, to paint, for the very first
time, a complete picture of one of the most enigmatic icons. This is the
definitive account of a fascinating man and an extraordinary life, one that
at last reconciles Fischer's deeply contradictory legacy and answers the
question: 'Who was Bobby Fischer?'
