Summary

Full Title: Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life Author(s): Michael Paxton, Foreword by Leonard Peikoff Year Published: 1998 Publisher: Gibbs Smith, Publisher Publication Type: Commercial ISBN-10: 0-87905-845-5 (hardcover) ISBN-13: 978-0-87905-845-6 (hardcover) Description: This is a companion book to the documentary film of the same name, which Paxton wrote and directed. It was produced with the cooperation of Rand's estate, which provided Paxton with an array of photographs and other material that would have been difficult or impossible to obtain elsewhere. The approach is hagiographic, with little discussion of any flaws or criticisms of Rand. The book includes extensive photographs, stills, and drawings, as well as the movie narration script.
