Woof. This was a marathon.

I am not typically a sports or non-fiction person, so when Larry talked it up to me and let me borrow his copy, I was interested, but worried I'd fizzle out before I finished. Even though it took me more than 10 months, I can now say I know more about the history of an American icon- including all his troubles and celebrations. This work dives deep into the history of American football (which was surprisingly interesting), the Olympic games, and America's (and the World's) treatment of Indigenous people throughout the life of one of the greatest athletes of all time.
