From Word of Sport:
The autobiography of Doug Williams, the first ever black Super-Bowl quarterback. Without him, it is likely that pro football would not have emerged from its veil of racial prejudice when it did, for Williams not only shattered the racist myth but spoke out - as he does here - with passion, sensitivity and humanity.
From the Publisher:
The autobiography of Doug Williams shows why he has been called a modern-day folk hero. With one fell swoop, Doug Williams, the Jackie Robinson of quarterbacks, shattered the myth that a black quarterback could not rise to the pinnacle of football.
