In this revised and expanded edition of Richard Koszarski's The Man You Loved to Hate, about a third of the material is completely new or significantly rewritten. It includes information recently unearthed in France and Austria and makes use of documents, scrapbooks, photographs and correspondence belonging to the Stroheim family. Reshaped and enriched, Von becomes once again what Sight and Sound called "...the best biographical treatment of Stroheim that we are likely to get - intelligent, judicious and a pleasure to read."
