The Agony of Victory On Sale October 3, 2007 >> Buy the Book Meet the swiftest and saddest cyclist of his time, a man whose craving for speed was outstripped only by a terrible urge toward self-annihilation. See the greatest bowler who ever lived, a scrawny junior high school drop out and hard-drinking multi-millionaire who could never stop trying—and failing—to measure up to his father. Try to understand the most accomplished high school runner in American history, a boy who set distance records that still astound, a man who abandoned his wife and three small children, adopted a false identity, flew to Hawaii and was discovered selling water filled insoles called "Happy Feet" from a kiosk on Waikiki beach. Read the tales of fourteen ravaged champions and their painful journeys to grace.
