Book Description

One was a humble farm boy from Minnesota. The other was the most electrifying distance runner of his time. In 1982, they battled stride for stride for more than two hours in the most thrilling Boston Maraton ever run. Then the drama really began. . . . Thus John Brant sets the stage for the epic race that took place 23 years ago between Alberto Salazar and Dick Beardsley. Since Beardsley was only 26 and Salazar 23 at the time, everyone assumed that this would be the start of a long and glorious rivalry. Instead Beardsley soon began a descent into drug addiction that brought him perilously close to dying. Salazars decline was more gradual, his vigor slowly giving way to baffling symptoms that left him completely exhausted. Brants portraits of the painkiller-addicted Beardsley and the depression-plagued Salazar are at once sensitive and hair-raising. The supporting characters are also richly drawn, from Albertos father, Jose Salazar, a towering presence with a fascinating history and a former close friend of Fidel Castro, to Bill Squires, Beardsleys coach, a Casey Stengellike figure whose oddball goofiness masks an encyclopedic knowledge of distance running. This elegantly written story is riveting nonfiction at its very best.

The Race of Their Lives.......2007-07-28

The 1982 Boston Marathon is arguably one of the greatest road races of all time. Alberto Salazar was the "golden boy" and the favorite. Dick Beardsley was an unknown journeyman runner (despite wins at the Grandma's Marathon and London Marathon). Their epic battle is told in stride for stride fashion with each runner sharing his thoughts, doubts and pains. Mr. Brant does an excellent job of fleshing out each runner's biography both before and after the race. I could not put this book down. This is one of the best running books I have ever read. It transends the sport and would be a very entertaining read for anyone!!

Going Beyond the Running .......2007-07-28

This narrative of the runner's lives is captivating and deeply sad. The author conveys the tragedy of each runner's lives after the marathon in such a stunning effect that we feel pain without having known them. Most people see elite runners as those who can push beyond the pain and barriers on the road and track, yet this is a stunning look and those elite's lives beyond the running.

Empathy for the stars.......2007-05-19

That April day in 82 was incredible, very few were heat acclimated. I trained in the midwest and was not. The race was run at noon adn I had heard the high was 75. The road seemed to be on fire. Beardsley had the advantage of heat training Salazar not. I was only a few minutes behind them but blew up at the base of hill #2 (Auberndale station).

The book gives a good accounting of the race and the battle of these fellows. The painfull part is their physical and emotional catastrophies after such a great performance.

Whether it be the marathon, Ironman or other endurance event one is never the same afterward. You gain experience but you also leave some of yourself behind.

mile 27 and beyond.......2007-04-21

Makes me proud to be a marathoner. Knowing the Boston course all too well, I was able to know where they were and think of myself there too. The final few moments on Hereford St... Boylston St... coming over the last hill at BC and seeing the city below, the surreal start in Hopkington...etc. Living in the Boston area in 1982 and struggling on a track team with a coach and team I hated, I remember this race and the excitement that built over the 2 hrs of Dick's & Salazar's journey...all of eastern Mass was behind them.
Years later and a few marathons under my own elastic belt, I profoundly connected with this story again when it excerpted in Runner's World and I think it appeals to runners and non runners alike, and anyone who has struggled with addiction and depression. But mostly distance runners will get this.
John Brant's writing style is melodramatic, but it works. All races are stories but this one is an epic poem.

Great read.......2007-04-18

Not just running, but real life stories of people who have risen to the top and then shows the human side of mistakes and making those something to learn from. This book is great, no question. If you are a runner, you will enjoy this.

Book Description

The 1982 Boston Marathon was great theater: Two American runners, Alberto Salazar, a celebrated champion, and Dick Beardsley, a gutsy underdog, going at each other for just under 2 hours and 9 minutes. Neither man broke. The race merely came to a thrilling, shattering end, exacting such an enormous toll that neither man ever ran as well again. Beardsley, the most innocent of men, descended into felony drug addiction, and Salazar, the toughest of men, fell prey to depression. Exquisitely written and rich with human drama, Duel in the Sun brilliantly captures the mythic character of the most thrilling American marathon ever run—and the powerful forces of fate that drove these two athletes in the years afterward.

Customer Reviews:

Good coverage of a great story.......2007-03-29

I enjoyed the book, despite jumping among 4 stories (past and race from each runner's perspective). I would have preferred a more traditional approach; i.e., a little history of each, the race, and the aftermath. But the author chooses. The unique approach somewhat detracted, but I'm glad I got the full story.

Book Description

Just last week, Michael Tegoff was a normal fifteen-year-old guy.

He was looking forward to the new school year and planning to try out for the basketball team. Then his father and stepmother dumped him at St. Matthew's Military Academy.

St. Matthew's calls itself a place "where boys become men," but mike doesn't want to be the kind of man St Mathew's wants to make him. The cadets are bullies, the rules make no sense, and Mike's only recourse is to just hang on tight and try not to forget there's a real world out past the school walls...

good insider report.......2003-01-03

He used the word "kid" a lot. It seems that it is the trend these days for teeangers to call other teenagers kids. It gets a little annoying after you start reading it.

I think that he did a good job describing the actual life in a military school. I used to think that it would be cool to live in a military school. His book has changed my mind.

I don't think that the book title fits with the actual content very well. And there is really no climax in this book. It seems that he may actually write part II.

MUST READ.......2000-04-27

Ok i am a student. I read this book and i thought it was great. Thier was 1 problem that is why I didn`t give it 5 stars. the ending was a surprize to me. I think that he should have ethier Made a sequel to the book or he should have made the book longer. But other than that the book was great the suspense was most thrilling. Even though it was not a horror book it was still full of suspence. But I think that if you are looking for a clif hanger book well here is one. BROVO for Adam Rapp. so from a STUDENT IN A HIGH SCHOOL I say this is a must read.

A Great Book!.......1999-06-06

I loved this book. It was fast-paced, and very funny. The main charcter was believable, and you sympathized with him throughout the novel as he struggled to make the best of a bad situation.

Intelligent, extraordinary, and endlessly interesting.......1998-04-27

This book showcases a brilliant new author who we will be hearing much more from in the future. I found the story to be compelling and believable, told with both grit and humor. Kudos for Adam Rapp!

A sensitive, perceptive and funny book about a boy's adolese.......1996-06-14

A children's book nowadays seems to be so general (e.g., multicultural only, girls only, boys only, etc.) that quality seems often to get left out of the equation. In this book, that is not the case. It's the story of a confused young man with some family difficulties (no Ricki story here, however). He confronts a realistic, difficult challenge, and must learn to incorporate the new pressures and information that, like it or not, are now a part of his life. The book is sophisticated in its handling, and the characterization of Mike Tegroff will ring true to anyone who's had an adolesence
