Jackson was determined to unearth deeper truths about the actor than he usually disclosed during interviews. Harris had manipulated the media all his life, largely to keep people from getting to really know him. However, by the time that interview ended, they had become firm friends. It was only then that Jackson told Harris, 'I want to show the public that there is far more to you than your superficial image as a boozing, brawling womaniser.' Harris loved this idea and two years later he asked Jackson to write his biography. “Richard Harris: Raising Hell and Reaching for Heaven” is that biography. But it is much more besides. Based on a searingly honest series of interviews Jackson recorded with Harris between 1987 and 2001, plus the author's journal entries and extensive notes, this book is also a part-memoir that tells a highly personal and moving back story about why it was inevitable that Jackson and Harris would connect at the deepest possible level. This book will finally prove beyond a doubt that there was far more to Richard Harris, indisputably one of Ireland's greatest actors as well as a Grammy-award-winning recording artist and published poet, than has previously been revealed.
