Non-fiction book review - Victory. Stand!

 

Victory. Stand! by Tommie Smith, Derrick Barnes, and Dawud Anyabwile

Smith's memoir tells the story behind a photo most of us have seen but know precious little about. The book is reminiscent of the March trilogy in visual style, structure, and intent. Smith tells the full truth of his story, both the good and the bad. There is no sensationalism here, no glossing over things we'd rather not talk about. It's a straightforward, honest narrative. It's a book I found quite engrossing and would not hesitate to read it again or to recommend it to others.
