The Full Burn

"In The Full Bum, acclaimed journalist Kevin Conley takes readers inside one of the most fascinating and dangerous jobs in the world. With full access to many of the legends of the field, Conley gives a passenger-seat view of the stuntman's life: the history, the culture, and the tricks of the trade, showing how - and why- stuntmen do what they do." "What's the scariest trick a stuntman does? Why is the divorce rate among stuntmen so high? What's it like to go to work not knowing whether you'll come back? What's it like for your wife? Conley delivers the answers in the form of vivid tales from his subjects' lives - and, in trying to answer the first question, one from his own, when he subjects himself to the rite of passage known as the "full burn.""--BOOK JACKET.Conley, Kevin is the author of 'The Full Burn' with ISBN 9781596910232 and ISBN 1596910232.
