In 1988, he released his only autobiography, _________, which took four years to complete and sold 200,000 copies. In the book, he wrote about the abuse he suffered in his childhood and his facial appearance, saying he had two rhinoplastic surgeries and a dimple created in his chin. He attributed much of the change in the structure of his face to puberty, weight loss, a strict vegetarian diet, a change in hair style, and stage lighting. It was published by Doubleday in secret because of the massive public interest in his life. Relatives of the company’s employees were hired as couriers, to deliver portions of the book from the company’s head office to the printing plant in Pennsylvania and manuscripts were kept under lock and key. The book was referred to using the code name ‘Neil Armstrong’. Whose autobiography and why was it codenamed as Neil Armstrong? PS: You might have read his name today in your news feed!
