Non-Fiction Biography
Lance Armstrong's War is the extraordinary story of
greatness pushed to its limits; a vivid, behind-the-scenes
portrait of perhaps the most accomplished athlete of our
time as he vies for a historic sixth straight victory in the
toughest sporting event on the planet. It is the true story
of a superlative sports figure fighting on all fronts—made
newly vulnerable by age, fate, fame, doping allegations, a
painful divorce, and an unprecedented army of
challengers—while mastering the exceedingly difficult trick
of being Lance Armstrong, a combination of world-class
athlete, celebrity, regular guy, and, for many Americans,
secular saint. With a new afterword by the author,
featuring in-depth reporting on: - Armstrong's
unprecedented seventh consecutive Tour de France
victory
- New blood doping
allegations
- Armstrong's continuing personal and
legal battles, and his retirement
A fascinating
journey through the little-known landscape of professional
bike racing, Lance Armstrong's War provides a hugely
insightful look into the often inspiring, always surprising
core of a remarkable athlete and the world that shapes him.
