This book is of a true hero, David Kopay. What a story of courage and inspiration. If you want to be inspired, read this book. One of the best!!

This is David Kopay's account of growing up gay back when there were very few books or support groups to turn to, which makes it stand even taller. He describes his experience as a college and professional football player as well as being in a fraternity. I find him candid, readable and likeable. He never asked for any special favours, just the right to live his life his way and do what he knew how to do.

I'm proud that David is a fellow Husky; his name adds honour to the reputation of the University of Washington, both as a hard-nosed athlete who hit like a freight train and as a man of courage. Just about anyone could benefit from reading his book.

Before Dan Woog's "Jocks," before "The Front Runner," before the whole genre, David Kopay rocked the homophobic world of sports by coming out and telling his story. An amazing personal journey and a great historic account, this is a must-have for your gay library. Not as sexy as you'd think, instead it's a harrowing and touching tale of the first pro football player - the first jock of the 20th century - to come out big time. We all owe this man a lot, but beyond that, this is a compelling story.

This is a well written travel guide book, if you're a first time traveler to California you would find this book as the most accurate guide that is available. Locals would also find this book useful if they're not familiar with the state yet.

Perry Deane Young tells the story of two colleagues, Dana Stone and Sean Flynn, who were captured by Vietnamese forces inside Cambodia on April 6, 1970. Several groups of journalists of various nationalties were captured in this same area during the same week Sean and Dana disappeared. Not one of these missing men has ever been "fully accounted-for", though reports relating to them still frequently emerge from surviving eye-witnesses of the chaos on the battlefields of Cambodia. Richard Linnett's "The Eagle Mutiny" explains how difficult it can be to sort out these reports of Americans held prisoner in Cambodia. Two more of Young's colleagues, Tim Page and Zalin Grant, are still actively seeking the true fate of Flynn and Stone. The author and Walter Cronkite appear in Tim Page's documentary film about the case, entitled "Danger at the Edge of Town". The answers most likely lie untouched in the musty archives of an uncooperative Peoples Army of Vietnam, too late for Dana's wife Louise, who died several years ago never having received the answers she longed for, buried alone, without Dana at her side. Louise deserved more. The Vietnamese government can do better, and so can ours. Readers of this story will be left with the hope that "You Are Not Forgotten" is not just a slogan on a flag flown at the post office, but a heartfelt pledge by a government and a people. What is clear is that Perry Deane Young saw his duty to write the story years ago. An unforgettable read!

As a direct descendant of Frankie Silver (She was my G-G-Grandmother) I have heard the story all my life, but learned many new facts about the case. I found a few dates to be incorrect, and many names omitted, but this does not detract from the essence of the story. A thoruoghly researched book that debunks many of the myths surrounding the hanging of Frankie Silver. Good reading for history buffs and a MUST for family members.
