Bøger af Andrew M. Homan

A century before Lance Armstrong captured headlines around the world by winning a record seventh consecutive Tour de France, another American dominated the world of competitive cycling. His name was Bobby Walthour, and in the early 1900s he was one of the world's most famous and highly paid athletes.

At a time when cycling in the United States rivaled baseball as thenation's most popular professional sport, along came Reggie McNamara, a farmer's son from Australia. In this humorous and exciting biography of the original Iron Man, Andrew M. Homan pulls McNamara back into the spotlight, depicting a flawed but beloved man whose success in unrelenting six-dayraces came at a price.
