Awesome
As a boy born in the early 60s I knew if this event, but not the story behind it. What a story and what a life. If you are interested in sports and human endeavour then this is a must read or audio book. The reference to Peter Norman is great and listening to the 200m race details is thrilling. Thanks to John Carlos for writing it. Mark Grooby - Melbourne, Australia
