Recenzii
"Bob Latham is an extreme connoisseur of sports, and his insights into seldom seen parts of many sports are accurate, informative, very well written and above all a joy to read. I highly recommend this book. It covers so many different aspects of various sports that it will be rewarding to any type of reader." -- NANDO PARRADO, author, "Miracle in the Andes: 72 Days on the Mountain and My Long Trek Home," Montevideo, Uruguay. -- NANDO PARRADO, author, Miracle in the Andes: 72 Days on the Mountain and My Long Trek Home, Montevideo, Uruguay. -- 20120525

"When I first met Bob Latham and learned he was a practicing attorney, I thought he'd made a mistake in career choices. He's not only one of the funniest people I've ever met, his humor is imbued with insights that are both intelligent and original. We are lucky that he's shared his passion for sports in a way that leads us to contemplate the very nature of winning and losing." -- TIMOTHY SCHNEIDER, Publisher, SportsTravel Magazine, Los Angeles, USA. -- TIMOTHY SCHNEIDER, Publisher, SportsTravel Magazine, Los Angeles, USA. -- 20120525

When Rolf Jensen said 'the heroes of the 21st century will be the story tellers,' who'd have thought he had in mind a rugby playing Texas lawyer." -- KEVIN ROBERTS, CEO Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi, New York, USA. -- KEVIN ROBERTS, CEO Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi, New York, USA. -- 20120525
