Given the giant arc of time, psychology, history and sheer volume of killers covered, this is an amazing listen.

Review from Wings of War →

The author perfectly tells the story of American distance running through the lens of running coach, Bob Larsen, while also weaving in his own personal running history. It all works in a seamless and entertaining way. So good!
