A cancer survivor who went on to win the Tour de France an unprecedented seven times, Lance Armstrong is an inspiration to millions. Yet few know the complete story of this brash, smart, and fiercely competitive Texan who battled to the top of his sport, overcame the most rampant case of testicular cancer doctors had seen, and then conquered cycling's Holy Grail time after time. Here, sportswriter John Wilcockson draws on dozens of interviews with those who know him best to trace Armstrong's remarkable yet controversial journey in vivid detail.--From publisher description.
