In 1996, twenty-four-year-old Lance Armstrong was ranked the world's number-one cyclist when he was suddenly sidelined by advanced testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain, giving him only a slim chance of survival. This memoir traces his fight through aggressive treatment and surgery, the long road back to training, and the mental and physical rebuilding that followed — culminating in his against-the-odds victory at the 1999 Tour de France. Co-written with sports journalist Sally Jenkins, it blends candid detail about illness and recovery with reflections on his Texas upbringing, his relationships, and the shift in perspective that came from facing his own mortality. An account of resilience, determination and what it took to return to the top of the sporting world.
