"The Life and Death of Peter Sellers" by Roger Lewis is a biography that delves into the comedic genius and complex personality of Peter Sellers. Based on over 300 interviews with his family, friends, enemies, and colleagues, the book paints a portrait of a man who was brilliant on screen but often difficult and self-destructive in his personal life.

Lewis explores how Sellers' fluidity as an actor made him uniquely talented but also contributed to an inner emptiness. The biography examines his relationships, obsessions, and the impact of his fame, culminating in his untimely death at the age of 54.
