Description: Most biographies of Walt Disney cover the full span of his life and the full history of his studio, from its start in 1923 until his death in 1966. However, these books, while broad, often give very little detail in the way of the production of its famous films, the operation of its studio, or its major accomplishments.
Brief description: Andrew Kiste is a historian who has written about fascinating events in the history of the Walt Disney Company, including the 1964-65 New York World's Fair and, more recently, the early years of Walt Disney and the entertainment studio that he created. When he isn't researching and writing, you can find Andrew and his family ministering to middle school students as part of the global mission of Youth For Christ in Middleville, Michigan.
