Sports & the Heroic

SPORTS & THE HEROIC is an ode to all American sports, illuminating that which can be derived from them for the good life. Of real events, facts and portrayals of well-known athletes, plus segments that are fiction, this slim volume pulls no punches, describing the good and the dreadfully awful that make up sports in our time, yet reminding us that sports, as a whole, can empower the very best that any of us has to offer in a complex world.
