Lance Armstrong's War
Book (italiano):
<p> <i>Lance Armstrong's War</i> 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 competes in the toughest sporting event on the planet. The incomparable will to win that famously lifted Armstrong beyond his humble Texas roots, beyond cancer, and to unparalleled heights of success is revealed by acclaimed journalist Daniel Coyle in new and startling dimensions. 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. </p> <p> A fascinating journey through the little-known landscape of professional cycling, <i>Lance Armstrong's War</i> provides a hugely insightful look into the often inspiring, always surprising core of a remarkable athlete and the world that shapes him. </p>
