Taut and gorgeously told, this is the intensely personal story of one man's fight against a multibillion dollar colossus. A man who stood up for what was right, whatever the cost.
Jeanne Marie Laskas has written for GQ, Esquire and the New York Times. She is director of The Writing Program at the University of Pittsburgh, and she lives on a farm in Pennsylvania with her family. She is the author of six books including Hidden America and The Exact Same Moon.
This is classic David and Goliath, and Jeanne Marie Laskas - one of
my favourite writers on earth - makes it as exciting as a great
courtroom drama. A riveting, powerful human tale... and a
masterclass on how to tell a story
*New York Times*
A gripping medical mystery and a dazzling portrait of the young
scientist no one wanted to listen to. Bennet Omalu's struggle to
force the NFL to reckon with head injuries should give us all hope
- and pause. A fabulous, essential read.
*Rebecca Skloot, author of 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta
Lacks'*
Bennet Omalu forced football to reckon with head trauma. The NFL
doesn't want you to hear his story, but Jeanne Marie Laskas makes
it unforgettable. This book is gripping, eye-opening, and full of
heart.
*Emily Bazelon, author of 'Sticks and Stones'*
