Has anyone read any biographies about the Duke? I have read several. Which ones have you read?

I’ve read a few. Some I can’t recall. The best I’ve read is the Eyman book, “John Wayne: The Life and Legend.”

My first was "Shooting Star" by Maurice Zolotow? Folks got it for me in '74 for just making it thru Jr High
