Wiedmer Dubs Book “Slam Dunk”

April 3, 2015

timesfreepressMark Wiedmer of the Chattanooga Times Free Press has a great review of STRONG INSIDE in today’s paper, four days before I’ll address the Chattanooga Quarterback Club’s weekly luncheon on Monday. Wiedmer calls the book a “slam dunk.” Check out the full article here.

  • “In a magnificently reported, nuanced
    but raw account of basketball and racism in the South during the 1960s, Andrew Maraniss tells the story of Perry Wallace’s struggle, loneliness, perseverance and eventual self-realization. A rare story about physical and intellectual courage that is both shocking and triumphant. ”

    Bob Woodward, Washington Post associate editor and author

Watch Andrew Maraniss talk about his inspiration to write Strong Inside, featuring archival footage of Perry Wallace in action.
