NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
comes "the best Jordan book so far" (The Washington Post), the story
of Michael Jordan's legendary years with the Chicago Bulls, capped by
the 1998 NBA Finals and the team's second three-peat.
From The Breaks of the Game to Summer of '49, David Halberstam has
brought the perspective of a great historian, the insider knowledge of a
dogged sportswriter, and the love of a fan to bear on some of the most
mythic players and teams in the annals of American sports. With Michael
Jordan and the Chicago Bulls he has given himself the greatest challenge
and produced his greatest triumph.
In Playing for Keeps, Halberstam takes the first full measure of
Michael Jordan's epic career, one of the great American stories of our
time. A narrative of astonishing power and human drama, brimming with
revealing anecdotes and penetrating insights, the book chronicles the
forces in Jordan's life that have shaped him in to history's greatest
basketball player and the larger forces that have converged to make him
the most famous living human being in the world.
