Steve Reeves electrified audiences for decades. Rising to stardom in two fields, he was the first body builder turned actor long before Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Sylvester Stallone hit the scene. Drawing on seven years of research and writing, including two summers living and working for Steve Reeves at his California horse ranch author Chris LeClaire captures in photography and words the first biography ever written on Steve Reeves. It is the definitive portrait of the legend who inspired millions, the man many believe to be the greatest body builder turned actor ever.
