A People's History Of Sports In The United States by Dave Zirin
A riotously entertaining chronicle of larger-than-life sporting characters and dramatic contests and what amounts to an alternative history of the United States as seen through the games its people played. A rollicking, rebellious, myth-busting history of sports in America that puts politics in the ring with pop culture.Dave Zirin is a columnist for The Nation, SLAM Magazine, and The Progressive, and was named one of UTNE Reader's 50 Visionaries Who Are Transforming Our World.
