Resumo

Although Mills was only age 45 years when he died, he had become the leading critic of the nation and its conscience. Mills insisted that for intellectuals, work and nonwork are inseparable. The author examines the relationship between Mills' theory of social structure and his biography. For data, the author draws on Mills' biographers, self-observations, letters, and the author's contacts with him as his dissertation director and later contacts. From infancy, Mills saw most relationships in terms of power and control. He was determined to remain autonomous, resist all attempts to control him. He was critical of the work of most sociologists and chose nonsociologists as friends.
