New York Times Bestseller: An "intimate, insightful, unflinching" portrait of the cyclist as he trains for-and triumphs in-the Tour de France (Jon Krakauer, New York Times-bestselling author of Into the Wild).

New York Times Bestseller: An "intimate, insightful, unflinching" portrait of the cyclist as he trains for-and triumphs in-the Tour de France (Jon Krakauer, New York Times-bestselling author of Into the Wild). Thisis an extraordinary story of greatness pushed to its limits; a vivid, behind-the-scenes portrait of perhaps the most accomplished athlete of our time as he vies for a historic sixth straight victory in the toughest sporting event on the planet. It is the true story of a superlative sports figure fighting on all fronts-made newly vulnerable by age, fate, fame, doping allegations, a painful divorce, and an unprecedented army of challengers-while mastering the exceedingly difficult trick of being Lance Armstrong, a combination of world-class athlete, celebrity, regular guy, and, for many Americans, secular saint. With a new afterword by the author, this updated edition features in-depth reporting on Armstrong's unprecedented seventh consecutive Tour de France victory; new blood doping allegations; his continuing personal and legal battles; and his retirement. A fascinating journey through the little-known landscape of professional bike racing, Lance Armstrong's Warprovides a hugely insightful look into the often inspiring, always surprising core of a remarkable athlete and the world that shapes him. "Well-researched and entertaining... his reporting is, quite simply, amazing." -The New York Times "Fueled by superb reporting and the built-in suspense of the 2004 Tour, Lance Armstrong's Waris the equal of its distinguished and very complicated subject." - Booklist (starred review) "Brisk and brilliant... captures the fabulous life and fast times of an international icon-and pierces the mystic heart of motivation itself." -Hampton Sides, New York Times-bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers
