Sports in AmericaRandom House, 1976 - 466 Seiten "A comprehensive, controversial examination of sports as a major force in American life." Los Angeles Times There is a crisis in American sports, and it's getting worse. Drugs, violence, and the corrupting effects of money and fame. Even before these problems made national headlines, master writer James A. Michener was growing concerned about the state of sports in America. Only Michener could tackle a subject so big and leave us amazed and apalled by what we've learned, yet still loving the games we grew up on. |
