This review is from: Sebastian Coe: Coming Back (Paperback)

Being a runner Sebastian Coe is one of biggest inspirations I have and therefore I read everything I can about him. This is the second book about him and covers the years between 1981 until after the games in 1984 in Los Angeles.

The second book covers his difficulties and eventual triumph in the Los Angeles games. Not many realized the extent of his illness from 1982 until the spring of 1984 and the challenge of going to the Olympics with only half a year of training. The second book is about what made Sebastian Coe into one of the greatest runners in history, his will to come back. Inspirational for everyone.
