Summary
No champion has astonished the world quite like Lance Armstrong. A cancer survivor who went on to win the Tour de France an unprecedented seven times, he is an inspiration to millions. Yet few know the complete story of this brash, smart, and fiercely competitive Texan. In Lance, John Wilcockson draws on dozens of interviews with those who know him best to trace Armstrong's remarkable, yet controversial, journey in vivid detail. Book jacket.
