You can't read books on running and not read this one! - By: Mr. Sk Mccarthy, 24 Feb 2008
Very good, well written book that documents Gebreselassie's rise from poverty to superstardom. With an always welcome to the statistician glossary of race details & history included, both Haile's career (not just as an athlete but also a would-be politician) & private life are more than adequately covered. For the athletics nut, there are also training tips, & also coverage of other athletes such as Yifter & Jos Hermans.
