Product Description
Even more miraculous than winning the Tour de France seven times in a row, was Lance Armstrong's first win - after his bout with testicular cancer. It made his feat a beacon of hope for other cancer survivors. Armstrong's Comeback from Cancer is a lively account by veteran cycling writer Samual Abt of his first career, his cancer period, and his memorable recovery and first Tour victory.

 AMAZING September 14, 2003
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I found this book to be amazingly awesome and that if you are a true cyclist, you should read this book. everytime after I read it, it inspires me to ride more often. I strongly suggest this book if you like hearing about miracles happening. I thought it was amazing how Lance over comes cancer and continues to win 5 straight Le Tour de France titles.

read its not about the bike it may have been "ghost written" but it has the proper prespective and an editor that passed high school english.
ace journalist goes for the fast buck with old clippings August 13, 2000
20 out of 21 found this review helpful
A book on the most dominant american cyclist of his generation by the only mainstream american sports journalist that actually understands the sport. the problem is that this book is nothing more than a compilation of old articles, and obviously done in a rush as well. typos litter the book, the images are far from impressive (the majority are from the '99 tour, and have as much quality as a fans pics taken with a disposable camera). altogether a waste of my money. if you want to learn about armstrong, then buy 'it's not about the bike', and don't waste your time or money on this.
Lance Armstrong's Best July 25, 2000
6 out of 9 found this review helpful
Of the various books about Lance Armstrong, this is easily the most readable and the most atractively presented. It tells the story of Armstrong's early career as well as his painful recovery and amazing comeback and victory in the 1999 Tour de France. Author Samuel Abt and photographer James Startt have put together a personally involved work that makes the reader feel intimately familiar with Armstrong.
The straight story March 5, 2000
3 out of 11 found this review helpful
Not much to say, except that Sam Abt has known Lance Armstrong for the better part of a decade and therefore has insight that other sports writers resoundingly lack. If you want to know more about Armstrong, this book is FAR preferable to the rider's terribly (ghost) written autobiography.
