...The Johnson's own lives were as exciting as the movies they made: sailing through the South Sea Islands with Jack and Charmian London, dodging big game at African waterholes, flying small planes over the veldt, taking millionaires on safari....Heroes to millions, this handsome pair from Kansas seemed to embody glamour, daring, and the all-American ideal of self-reliance.
...Probing beneath the surface of the Johnsons' public image, Pascal and Eleanor Imperato explore the more human side of the couple's lives and ways the Johnsons shaped America's vision of Africa....Drawing on many years of research, access to a wealth of letters and archives, interviews with many who worked closely with the Johnsons, and their own deep knowledge of Africa, the authors present a fascinating and intimate portrait of this intrepid couple.
