The Perfect Mile: Three Athletes, One Goal, and Less Than Four Minutes to Achieve It
Neal Bascomb
(78 Reviews)
Genre: Health, Fitness & Dieting | History | Sports & Outdoors
FREE for a limited time
There was a time when running the mile in four minutes was believed to be beyond the limits of human foot speed, and in all of sport it was the elusive holy grail. In 1952, after suffering defeat at the Helsinki Olympics, three world-class runners each set out to break this barrier. Roger Bannister was a young English medical student who epitomized the ideal of the amateur, still driven not just by winning but by the nobility of the pursuit. John Landy was the privileged son of a genteel Australian family, who as a boy preferred butterfly collecting to running but who trained relentlessly in an almost spiritual attempt to shape his body to this singular task. Then there was Wes Santee, the swaggering American, a Kansas farm boy and natural athlete who believed he was just plain better than everybody else.
Spanning three continents and defying the odds, their collective quest captivated the world and stole headlines from the Korean War, the atomic race, and such legendary figures as Edmund Hillary, Willie Mays, Native Dancer, and Ben Hogan. In the tradition of Seabiscuit and Chariots of Fire, Neal Bascomb delivers a breathtaking story of unlikely heroes and leaves us with a lasting portrait of the twilight years of the golden age of sport.

John Summit
(21 Reviews)
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs

Cold case murders are those defined that for one reason or another, have not been solved. Cold case crimes are among the most difficult to solve for many reasons and the longer the case goes unsolved, the less likely they are to ever come to closure.
Despite increasing advances in scientific and forensic technology, it’s not always the physical evidence that determines the resolution of a homicide. In most trials today, it’s also vitally important to tie the suspect to that physical evidence.
In his 5th book in the True Crime Series, John Summit profiles 7 true stories of the most notorious unsolved murders in American history. These cases will leave you flabbergasted at the bungled police stories, leave you wondering how likely suspects were never prosecuted and leave you sympathizing with the families of the victims who never saw closure.
