The Measure of a Man: A Spiritual Autobiography

In this luminous memoir, Sidney Poitier looks back on his celebrated life and career. He explores character and personal values to take his own measure—as a man, as a husband and a father, and as an actor. With unflinching sense of right and wrong and of self-worth shaped by his childhood on Cat Island in the Bahamas, Poitier broke racial barriers to launch a pioneering acting career. A triumph of the spirit, The Measure of a Man captures the essential Poitier.
