Mr. Burroughs' books are estimated to have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and they have spawned 60 films and 250 television episodes.

Franke III, tracing Burroughs' rise from aspiring writer to pioneering entrepreneur, media visionary, and World War II war correspondent.Completing the volume are eighteen essays by Burroughs, including four previously unpublished travelogues, along with rare photographs and images from the archives of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
