The riveting true story - soon to be the subject of a high-profile film - of Olympic wrestling gold medal-winning brothers Mark Schultz and Dave Schultz and their fatal relationship with the eccentric John du Pont, heir to the du Pont dynasty.
On January 26, 1996, Dave Schultz, Olympic gold medal winner and wrestling golden boy, was shot three times by du Pont family heir John E. du Pont at the famed Foxcatcher Farms estate in Pennsylvania. Following the murder, there was a tense standoff when du Pont barricaded himself in his home for two days before he was finally captured.
Foxcatcher is gold medal winner Mark Schultz's memoir, revealing what made him and his brother champion and what brought them to Foxcatcher Farms. It's a vivid portrait of the complex relationship he and his brother had with du Pont, a man whose catastrophic break from reality led to tragedy. No one knows the inside story of what went on behind the scenes at Foxcatcher Farms - and inside John du Pont's head - better than Mark Schultz.
The incredible true story of these championship-winning brothers and the wealthiest convicted murderer of all time will be making headlines this fall, and Mark's memoir will reveal the true inside story.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend this book to a wrestling fanatic, but otherwise, I wouldn't recommend the book. I found the book to be, well, boring. It lacked emotion or any sort of personal growth, because the author was too busy explaining how he won matches and who he was training with at any given time. The juicy stuff, like his brother's murder and DuPont's craziness was a blip.What do you think your next listen will be?
I am listening to "Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue" by McWhorterHave you listened to any of Stephen Mendel’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
NoDo you think Foxcatcher needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, please God, no.Any additional comments?
I purchased the book because I heard the movie did well (though I have not yet seen it) and the book cover "...a story about my brother's murder, DuPont's madness..." Hollywood must have taken a lot of artistic license, because this book does not live up to the book cover.Disappointed
