Kevin Turner was always good at
football. After playing fullback for and graduating from the University
of Alabama, he spent his career in the National Football League with the
Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots, laying vicious blocks
on his opponents and playing the game with physical abandon. But after
his career came to an end, Kevin developed ALS, a devastating disease of
the brain that may have been caused by his participation in the game he
loved. IN AMERICAN MAN, Jon Frankel provides a powerful portrait of an
athlete whose diagnosis has inspired him to help in the quest to find
answers about this mysterious disease.
