Yet his life was more complex and multilayered than most believe.

In this gripping, classic biography, Roger Lewis draws on over three hundred interviews with Sellers's family, wives, mistresses, enemies and co-stars to show how Sellers succeeded, and why it was at such terrible cost to himself and to those whom he professed to love.

The Life And Death Of Peter Sellers Reviews

Torrential psychological biography ... a savage but satiating account * Daily Mail *
A fascinating, tragic and instructive story, vividly told * Sunday Telegraph *
An absolute revelation, the book grips from the first page to the last and is packed with the kind of facts and anecdotes that make one drool. Brilliant * Film Review *
It is a mad book - but then the subject is a madman. I love Lewis's passion ... I recommend it * Sunday Times *
Reinventing the genre as well as reassessing its subject with formidable intelligence, this book is a remarkable achievement * Literary Review *
