From Alfred to Zulu, Michael Caine has been Britain's best-loved actor for half a century.

Now, for the first time, he reveals the truth behind his remarkable life. From his time as an evacuee during the Blitz to his front-line military service in the Korean War, from his early days as an assistant stagehand to becoming Peter O'Toole's understudy, from walk-on parts in local theatres to blowing the bloody doors off with his legendary roles in Zulu and The Italian Job, Caine's life was never simple or easy.

Discussing his little-known childhood and family alongside his hard-fought journey from London to Hollywood, Caine writes with astonishing candour about the good years and the lean years, bringing his unique charm and humour to his anecdotes and memories of a sprawling movie-making career. If you worked in Hollywood in the last few decades, you've probably worked with Michael Caine - and his accounts of his relationships with other superstars, both on and offscreen, make this autobiography essential reading for any fan not just of Michael Caine, but of film in general.

M.C. is vulnerable and honest. Time well spent.

Michael Caine is vulnerable and honest. His voice soothes as if a good father is putting you to bed with stories of his own childhood. This is time well spent. I'm glad I took that time.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT

IT WAS A REFRESHING SURPRISE TO FIND MC READING HIS STORY. I HAVE ALWAYS WISHED TO HAVE MC AS MY FAVOURITE TO SHARE A CUP OF TEA WITH.

A great story in his own voice

Just listened to this for the second time. Truly a pleasure. I recommend it highly

Fantastic!

I love Michael Caine, and in his autobiography he comes out as witty and entertaining. He has a wonderful voice and it is not at any point boring.

Interesting look behind the scenes

Great story and interesting glimpse at the real person behind the legend. The ONLY complaint I had was the sound quality on the recording. It's a bit fuzzy and does not cater to his speaking style. He starts bold, but tapers off, so I had to keep the volume all the way up because it ranges from booming to a whisper.
