The Amateurs (Inglese)

Astonishing . . . Moving . . . One of the best books ever written about a sport.”
*Walter Clemons
Newsweek

“A PENETRATING, FASCINATING AND REMARKABLY SUSPENSEFUL NARRATIVE.”
*David Guy
Chicago Tribune
In The Amateurs, David Halberstam once again displays the unique brand of reportage, both penetrating and supple, that distinguished his bestselling The Best and the Brightest and October 1964. This time he has taken for his subject the dramatic and special world of amateur rowing. While other athletes are earning fortunes in salaries and-or endorsements, the oarsmen gain fame only with each other and strive without any hope of financial reward.
