    "Stefan Kanfer's excellent new book,  Tough Without A Gun: The Life And Extraordinary Afterlife Of Humphrey Bogart , isn't exactly a biography. Though Kanfer limns the crucial milestones of Bogie's 57 years, what emerges from his book is more enlightening than an exhaustive timeline: He presents a sense of the interplay between the actor, his iconic roles, and the ever-shifting ideal of American masculinity. . . Kanfer has crafted a moving, psychologically intimate portrait of an icon that leaves some of the mystique intact." -Meredith Blake, The Onion, AV Club "There may be no better analysis of Bogart's mysterious and enduring appeal." -Allen Barra, The Daily Beast "Compelling . . . An entertaining, definitive portrait."  - Publishers Weekly  "In this possibly definitive Bogart biography, Kanfer convincingly presents the reasons for the actor's continuing relevance . . . eminently readable."   -Roy Liebman,  Library Journal  (starred)     " . . .  [A] revealing account of Bogart's life and legacy . . . what separates Kanfer's book from other Bogart bios . . . is the emphasis on the actor's "afterlife," the way that somehow his persona-"integrity, stoicism, sexual charisma accompanied by a cool indifference to women"-has never gone out of style. Bogart divided the world into "professionals and bums," and Kanfer makes a convincing case that, with so many bums surrounding us today, the real pros never grow stale." -Bill Ott, Booklist   "Stefan Kanfer's Bogart biography . . . is called "Tough Without a Gun: The Life and Extraordinary Afterlife of Humphrey Bogart." It's the afterlife that matters, and the best part of Mr. Kanfer's account is his analysis of Bogart's role as what cultural historians call a "modal personality" of his time-and what a long time it has been." -Henry Allen, The Wall Street Journal   "Kanfer rounds up the varying ways in which Bogart lives on after his death, from inspiring French New Wave directors and Woody Allen to the cult that has grown up around 'Casablanca.'" -Chris Foran, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel   " Kanfer has sounded [Bogart] out beautifully with this swift, smart, scrupulous book. It brims with insights no less piercing for the modesty with which they are framed." -Tom Shone, Slate   ". . . a deft . . . sketch . . . Kanfer's at his best when he's digging into the substance of Bogart's projects" -Alyssa Rosnberg, TheAtlantic.com   "Kanfer . . . brings his knowledge of Hollywood and its ways to this entertaining book . . . [it] should appeal to older Bogart enthusiasts and younger movie fans discovering him for the first time. It's a readable and entertaining biography that reflects the author's delight in his subject and the world in which Bogart thrived." -Jerry Harkavy, The Associated Press   "Kanfer . . . clearly knows every frame of Bogart's many films, [and] writes in a lively Hollywood demotic that doesn't disguise his reverence for the great actor - or the great man." -Jane Shilling, Daily Mail (UK)   ". . . insightful . . . analysis of the way that Bogart worked " -Roger K. Miller, Chicago Sun-Times  , "A swift, smart, scrupulous book. It brims with insights." -Tom Shone, Slate "Terrific. . . . Kanfer is particularly good in sketching [Bogart's] lasting influence." - Los Angeles Times "Evocative. . . . Gives the reader a palpable sense of the sadly truncated arc of [Bogart's] life." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Insightful. . . . The value of this book lies in Kanfer's insights into and analysis of the way that Bogart worked " - Chicago Sun-Times "There may be no better analysis of Bogart's mysterious and enduring appeal." - The Daily Beast "Gracefully written. . . . [Kanfer] approaches the complicated and difficult man Katharine Hepburn called 'one of the biggest guys I ever met' with a fair, discerning eye. . . . Both sensitive and agile. . . . An insightful, compassionate portrait of a man who cared about his craft and, close friends said, camouflaged a kind and generous heart with a sardonic wit and snarl." - Dallas Morning News "Excellent. . . . A moving, psychologically intimate portrait of an icon that leaves some of the mystique intact." -A.V. Club "A readable and entertaining biography that reflects the author's delight in his subject and the world in which Bogart thrived." -Denver Post "If you, like most of us, think of Bogart in Casablanca, The African Queen , and perhaps The Maltese Falcon , and you've always wondered what was behind the cool guy in the trench coat and the fedora, this book will tell you-in spades." - Providence Journal "Numerous…apt descriptions of Bogart's film persona flow through Kanfer's [book]." - Courier-Journal "Kanfer does a thorough job of taking us on a journey through the making of Bogart's other films. . . . Kanfer is at his best when framing Bogie's career against the social and cultural mood of each era, and exploring Bogie's flourishing cult status since his death in 1957." - Newsday "[Kanfer's] skill with words is as smooth as the Scotch Bogart loved. . . . With this biography, just sit back and savour. Kanfer takes you enjoyably through stories." - Vancouver Sun "It's the afterlife that matters, and the best part of Mr. Kanfer's account is his analysis of Bogart's role as what cultural historians call a "modal personality" of his time-and what a long time it has been." - The Wall Street Journal, "Stefan Kanfer's excellent new book,  Tough Without A Gun: The Life And Extraordinary Afterlife Of Humphrey Bogart , isn't exactly a biography.

    Synopsis
    In this comprehensive biography of one of the great movie icons of our time, Stefan Kanfer, the acclaimed biographer of Lucille Ball, Groucho Marx, and Marlon Brando, illuminates the life and career of Humphrey Bogart. Along the way, Kanfer gives us a wide-reaching cultural appraisal of the movies many of us know and love as masterpieces of American cinema: The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, To Have and Have Not , and countless others. He appraises each of the films with an unfailing critical eye, weaving in lively accounts of behind-the-scenes fun and friendships, including, of course, the great love story of Bogart and Lauren Bacall. What emerges in these pages is a portrait of a great Hollywood life, and the final word on why there can only ever be one Bogie.
