$26.00Disturbing indictment of the world of grassroots basketball, the network of highly competitive youth club teams that has produced an incredible number of today’s NBA stars. Problem is, the industry has become very lucrative of late, to the point that shoe companies like Nike and Adidas frequently form relationships with athletes as young as 9yearsold in the hopes that they will help sell shoes for them once they reach stardom (whi9ch rarely happens). This book follows one of these teams for eight years. The results are often heartbreaking.

In February of 1966, pilot Dieter Dengler was shot down over Laos in territory controlled by Pathet Lao guerillas and North Vietnamese regulars. Taken prisoner, Dengler eventually freed not only himself but all of his other POWs, then survived with them in the jungle for 23 days before making it to safety. Bruce Henderson, who served with Dengler aboard the USS Ranger, tells the full story as it never has been told before, compiling interviews, military records, letters, and journals to shed new light on this amazing hero's life.
