Freedom and Dissatisfaction in the Works of Agnes Heller - With and Against Marx (Hardcover) - Lucy Jane Ward Product Description

In Mickey Mantle we see America's romance with boldness, its celebration of muscle, and its comfort in power during a time when might did make right. But if his life symbolized the great expectations of America in the 1950s, it also epitomized the dashed dreams of a troubled generation in the 1960s and its unrealistic hopes for achievement.Mickey Mantle: America's Prodigal Sonis both an explosive biography of a fascinating and enduring sports hero and a telling look at American society in his time. During six years of research, formerSports Illustratedwriter Tony Castro interviewed more than 250 friends, teammates, lovers, acquaintances, and drinking buddies of one of America's most famous sports stars.
