The Huffington Post Review

April 21, 2015

unnamedKen Reed reviews STRONG INSIDE for The Huffington Post, calling it a captivating book. “After reading Strong Inside, one can fully appreciate the mental, physical and emotional toll that comes with being a civil rights pioneer,” he writes. “Strong Inside is both an insightful and entertaining read. It has the pace of a page-turning novel and is a class above the standard sports biography.” Read the full review 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
