From the pithy to the humorous to the profound, the film career of the man known as The Duke is full of life lessons for today. In John Wayne's Way, author Doug Brode explores the film legacy of the Duke and provides commentary on the lessons learned from the archetypes of the West and American manhood Wayne displayed on the silver screen.
