A Fighter's Heart by Sam Sheridan
Sam Sheridan, a university graduate and former US Merchant Marine, always had a taste for adventure. So when he found himself in Australia, loaded with cash and intent on spending it all, he realised that he could finally indulge a long-treasured obsession of his: fighting. Driven by a desire to know what only a fighter can - about fear and violence, about the dark side of being a man - he began training with the best of the best. Within a year, he stepped through the ropes for a professional bout against a Japanese Karate champion. Far from putting him off, he was hooked, and set out on an epic journey into the world of fighting. A Fighter's Heart is the chronicle of Sheridan's quest.
"* 'After reading Sam's book you'll be sweating like you were there with him; you might even have some blood trickling out of your nose' Pat Miletich, five time UFC Champion, trainer of 11 World Champions * 'The obsessive, brutal subcultures Sheridan explores are inherently fascinating, and his behind-the-scenes access makes for a gripping read.' Washington Post"
Sam Sheridan joined the US Merchant Marines after high school and then attended Harvard College. He has written for Men's Journal and Newsweek. This is his first book.
