John Williams is one of the most important film composers of all time, having almost singlehandedly revived the Hollywood symphonic scoring tradition and helped restore the livelihood of American orchestras through the populairy of film music programming His film music, in the words of director Oliver Stone, "came to stand for the American culture." In John Williams: A Composer's Life, the first biography of the composer, Tim Greiving offers an engaging account of a man whose body of work is well-known but whose personal life has consistently remained very private.
