It's a good book, containg lots of old stuff too, but still very interesting...Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination

Considering the fact that the author is a leftist America - hating media member, I would suspect the text to take some shots at Walt.

No, but I probably will, when it comes out in paperback. It's cheaper in paperback, and it's easier to carry, when in paperback.
I'm at the same part too. I love this book... though I just received "Married to the Mouse" and "The Disney War" this week. So I'm having trouble deciding if I should finish "The Man Behind the Mouse" before I start those.
In response to an earlier question, I don't see any Walt bashing. I feel that the 'controversial' parts (i.e. how and when Mickey was created) are covered fairly. Walt's creative accounts of his past aren't always 100% correct and consistent. Many of his most proud moments have been told with different details... the book lets us know the different versions but doesn't dwell on them. It states them and moves on. I still have yet to find the "Walt bashing" that people have spoken about.
