Named one of the best books of the year by the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, Business Week, and GQ, THE CHIEF: THE LIFE OF WILLIAM RANDLOPH HEARST is "an absorbing and ingeniously organized biography . . . of the most powerful publisher America has ever known" (New York Times Book Review). Drawing on papers and interviews that were previously unavailable, as well as on newly released documentation of interactions with such figures as Hitler, Mussolini, Churchill, every president from Grover Cleveland to Franklin Roosevelt, and movie giants Louis B. Mayer, Jack Warner, and Irving Thalberg, David Nasaw completes the picture of this colossal American "engagingly, lucidly and fair-mindedly" (Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.).
"Outstandingly researched, elegantly but not flamboyantly written, and fair in its conclusions about Hearst's astonishing career" (Wall Street Journal), THE CHIEF "must be regarded as the definitive study . . . It's hard to imagine a more complete rendering of Hearst's life" (Business Week).

Really great shirt, really thick material
An unexpected pleasant surprise. Really nice quality, minimal shrinkage, and very few wrinkles out of the dryer. Nice, comfortable fit, and for big-but-not-tall guys, the fitment is very presentable. Sleeves aren't crazy long, and the shirt itself isn't so long that you feel like you're wearing a dress. These aren't complaints, but I do want to share two notes that were important to me: 1. If you want a breast pocket, be sure to select the right shirt. There are two different versions, and it's not particularly obvious which is which. 2. The material is thick. Really thick. So the shirt is pretty heavy, and it doesn't breathe very well. For me, this is unquestionably a winter shirt. If, like me, you tend to run a bit warm, this shirt can make you feel like you're wearing a parka.

Great Value from Amazon Essentials
I can’t believe the quality of this shirt given the low price I paid for it. It fits perfectly, looks impressive, and is very comfortable. The shirt has survived two washes so far and looks as good as new. I couldn’t be more satisfied with this purchase.

Too large, length too long
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Runs large, and the length is far too long to wear untucked like in the photos. Always wear a Medium, this fits like a Large. Length of shirt is long and obviously made to be tucked in. You would look ridiculous if you left it untucked. Dont understand why companies still insist on designing shirt to be tucked in when most people dont wear it like that these days

Traditional Grown Man Shirt
Size: Large, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Great cotton, classically-style button down shirt for guys not wanting anything slim fit, this shirt size is legitimate. It’s a nice heavyweight cotton shirt. I don’t think I’d say it was wrinkle resistant but it doesn’t take much effort to press this garment.
