No ownership marks. 248 pages clean and tight. David Frost is an international phenomenon. Millions of people on both sides of the Atlantic have acclaimed him as TV's best interviewer. Yet little is known about his background or the private world in which he lives. Willi Frischauer spent months finding out what makes David tick and how he manages his incredible weekly routine of five shows in the United States and two in Britain. (He has made over a thousand trans-Atlantic flights.) Here for the first time is the full story of Frost's rise from an English country manse to Cambridge University and great success as an entertainer. Here are details of his interviewing methods and how he handles such diverse and challenging figures as Spiro Agnew, Golda Meir, Maria Callas, and Sammy Davis, Jr. Here are his moods, his business acumen, his typical daily routines, his breakfasts with prime ministers and his "private dinners" with girl friends. David Frost is a richly documented record of the hectic but glamorous life of an extraordinary man. .
