- Summary:
- Ayn Rand and her philosophical school, Objectivism, have had a considerable influence upon American popular culture, yet the true story of her life and work has yet to be told. In this book, Jeff Walker debunks the cult-like following that developed around the author of the classics "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead"--a cult that persists even today.
