Steve Reeves - The Authorized Biography

Steve Reeves electrified audiences for decades. Rising to stardom in two fields, he was the first bodybuilder turned actor long before Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Sylvester Stallone hit the scene. 

Drawing on seven years of research and writing, author Chris LeClaire captures in photography and words the first biography ever written on Steve Reeves. 

Mr. LeClaire lived and worked for Steve Reeves at his California Morgan horse ranch during the summers of 1993 and 1994 prior to publishing the first edition of Worlds To Conquer in 1999. 

Note: Author Chris LeClaire was given verbal and written 'Full Authorization' by Steve Reeves himself  to write and publish Worlds To Conquer.

Worlds To Conquer is the definitive portrait of the man who inspired millions, the man many believe to be the greatest bodybuilder turned actor ever.
