Howard Cosell: The Man, the Myth, and the Transformation of American Sports

â€œBrilliant . . . entertaining . . . a thought-provoking portrayal of the multi-faceted Howard Cosell in all his glory and enmity.â€â€•Don Ohlmeyer, Wall Street Journal
Howard Cosellâ€™s colorful bombast, fearless reporting, and courageous stance on civil rights made him one of the most recognizable and controversial figures in American sports history. â€œTelling it like it is,â€ he covered nearly every major sports story for three decades, from the travails of Muhammad Ali to the tragedy at the Munich Olympics. Now, two decades after his death, this deeply misunderstood sports legend has finally gotten the â€œdefinitiveâ€ (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) and revelatory biography he so much deserves. With more than forty interviews, Mark Ribowsky has brilliantly presented Cosellâ€™s endless complexities in the â€œfirst thoroughly researched and effectively framed biography of Cosell and his timesâ€ (Huffington Post). 35 illustrations
