		I think that William Claxton has captured all sides of the great star, his passion for speed, McQueen relaxed at home, in his swimming pool, on location all over the USA, and Claxton had obviously gained McQueen's trust, and some of the images are a testament to this.
		Steve McQueen, by his long-time friend William Claxton (an acclaimed photographer best known for his photos of the LA and New York Jazz scene in the late 40s), is as compelling an insight into the private life of the star as anything which has appeared so far and a genuine must have for any fan.
		Packed with anecdotes and memories from Claxton, the book also features some breathtaking action shots of McQueen with his motorcycle buddies (he liked to race Triumphs in the desert), in his fast cars, and with his leading ladies and fellow actors.
