"Throughout his lengthy career as both an actor and a director, Clint Eastwood has
appeared in virtually every major film genre and, at this point in his career, has
emerged as one of America's most popular, recognizable, and respected filmmakers.
He also remains a controversial figure in the political landscape, often characterized
as the most prominent conservative voice in mostly liberal Hollywood. At Eastwood's
late age, his critical success as actor and director, his combative willingness to
confront serious cultural issues in his films, and his undeniable talent behind the
camera all call for a new and comprehensive study that considers and contextualizes
his multiple roles, both on and off screen. Tough Ain't Enough offers readers a series
of original essays by prominent cinema scholars that explore the actor-director's
extensive career. The result is a far-reaching and nuanced portrait of one of America's
most prolific and thoughtful filmmakers"--Provided by publisher
