4.0 out of 5 stars You can't read books on running and not read this one!, 24 Feb 2008
By Mr. Sk Mccarthy (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very good, well written book that documents Gebreselassie's rise from poverty to superstardom. With an always welcome to the statistician glossary of race details and history included, both Haile's career (not just as an athlete but also a would-be politician) and private life are more than adequately covered. For the athletics nut, there are also training tips, and also coverage of other athletes such as Yifter and Jos Hermans.
