The book takes readers on a journey through Hope's life, from his childhood in England to his rise to fame in America.

Along the way, he also provides insights into his personal life, including his marriage to his wife Dolores and his close friendships with fellow entertainers such as Bing Crosby and Lucille Ball. Throughout the book, Hope's trademark humor shines through, making ""They Got Me Covered"" an entertaining and engaging read for fans of the beloved performer.

Reissued to coincide with the paperback publication of the definitive Bing biography by Gary Giddins, here is "a collection of anecdotes and reminiscences that is as warm and witty as any Crosby performance. [Bing] could have surely become a full-time writer had his schedule not been taken up with being one of the great entertainers of the century." -Will Friedwald
