Major: A Black Athlete, a White Era, and the Fight to Be the World's Fastest Human Being (Hardcover) is the complete title, and is on sale for about 17.US at Amazon. I am about 2/3 of the way through the book and enjoying the read immensely. There is a bit of 'time shifting' going on, it is not sequentially organized, and can get a bit confusing at times. There are some attempts at a forced 'lyricism' that does not seem to be common in biographical narratives. Worth the read, better than the other couple of biographies out there and Marshall Taylor was pretty cool...
