He was a Man in Black, a country music legend, a rebel and an idol of many generations. He was an icon of harsh individualism. In his unforgettable autobiography, Johnny Cash tells the truth about the highs and lows, the struggles and hard-won triumphs, and the people who shaped him. He tells the story of his life, from his childhood on a cotton farm in Arkansas to his early years on Sun Records. His story is not only about life on the road, meetings and performances for world leaders, but also about the darker side of his life about years of drug addiction, suicide attempt and spiritual awakening.
