Synopsis

This definitive biography of the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous is based on Susan Cheever's access to Bill Wilson's papers and other documents. She tells of his experiences as a young man in Vermont and of his decline into alcoholism and despair. She tells of the strength he found in the fellowship of fellow drinkers who wanted to get sober, most especially Dr. Bob Smith. And she relates the hope that Bill and others experienced after the founding of the fellowship that has helped so many otherwise hopeless drinkers get and stay sober.
