description: This is one of the best sports biographies I have ever read. Beautifully written and thoroughly researched it reveals with stunning insight both the talents and the demons that drove Mickey Mantle bringing him to life as never before. Leavy treats us to a rarely known Mantle; more flawed more human and more likable. A terrific read.
