Book Overview

The definitive biography of Bill Wilson, the man who established Alcoholics Anonymous, and the first to be written with access to documents in that organization's archives, by a noted author who is herself a recovering alcoholic.

In this definitive and groundbreaking biography, acclaimed author Susan Cheever offers a remarkably human portrait of a man whose life and work both influenced and saved the lives of millions of people. Drawing from personal letters, diaries, AA archives, interviews--and Cheever's own experiences with alcoholism--My Name Is Bill is the first fully documented, deeply felt account of Bill Wilson and Alcoholics Anonymous.
