4.0 out of 5 stars
Biography of fencer, Peter Westbrook,
By Stable (PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harnessing Anger: The Inner Discipline of Athletic Excellence (Paperback)
The book was a page turner,finished in 3 hours. It tells the tale of peter shifting his energy into a sport instead of getting in to gang activities. It also speaks of the racism that Peter experienced avancing as a black fencer in a mostly whitesport. I especially enjoyed his adventures on the subway and how he reacted in confrontational situations! A must read for subway travelers!

The pen and the sword cooperate.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Harnessing Anger: The Way of an American Fencer. (Hardcover)
Peter Westbrook is one of the true gentlemen of fencing. He is also one of the great competitive fencers of the twentieth century. Needless to say, his rise from tough "street kid" to Olympic medal winner makes interesting reading. This book is a definite must for all fencing enthusiasts, but it should also have appeal for anyone who likes personal stories of challenge and perseverance
