Lance Armstrong's War: The Battle Against Fate, Love, Death, Scandal, and Other Adversaries on the Road to Victory

If there is one thing that typifies Lance Armstrong's life - apart from the fact that he fought a successful battle with cancer, won the Tour de France seven times, became a media icon and was repeatedly accused of doping - it is his unbreakable will to win. At the cost of everything and everyone. Armstrong recovers after the almost lost Tour of 2003, deals with a painful divorce, plays psychological games with riders like Jan Ullrich and holds his own in a media circus of jet-setters, controversial Italian sports doctors, lawyers and the doping witch hunt by the French press and police, which takes on ever greater proportions after Armstrong's departure. The reader experiences all this at very close range - as if Daniel Coyle was sitting on the back of Armstrong's bike.

What drives this man? Lance Armstrong's War provides an answer in an extremely entertaining way. And is therefore the biography of one of the greatest sportsmen of all time.
