Forrest Gump by W Groom

The modern classic that inspired the beloved movie starring Tom Hanks.

Six foot six, 242 pounds, and possessed of a scant IQ of 70, Forrest Gump is the lovable, surprisingly savvy hero of this classic comic tale. His early life may seem inauspicious, but when the University of Alabama's football team drafts Forrest and makes him a star, it sets him on an unbelievable path that will transform him from Vietnam hero to world-class Ping-Pong player, from wrestler to entrepreneur. With a voice all his own, Forrest is telling all in a madcap romp through three decades of American history.

Forrest Gump, The Aviators, Talks with the Enemy (nominated for a Pulitzer Prize), 1942: The Year That Tested Men's Souls, Vicksburg, 1863, and Shiloh, 1862 are among Winston Groom's 14 prior books. He was a member of the Fourth Infantry Division in Vietnam. He resides in the Alabama town of Point Clear.
