Ayn Rand
and the World She Made
by Anne C. Heller
She was one of the most controversial and influential figures of the 20th century, but her life has never been chronicled by an impartial biographer—until now.
More than fifty years after The Fountainead and Atlas Shrugged were written by Ayn Rand, she remains a revered, reviled, and extremely vital force in American intellectual life. Now journalist Anne C. Heller makes an important contribution to the ongoing debate about Rand with this masterful biography.
A discussion guide is available for reading groups.
