" ... as author Dorothy Ours shows us, the truth needs no enhancement when it comes to Man o’ War—the simple reality of this immortal still has the power to enthrall."....read more
-- Mary Simon from Thoroughbred Times

Here’s my guaranteed recipe for unadulterated pleasure. You take twenty-two chapters, mix in one spectacular Thoroughbred racehorse, and gently blend in just enough inscrutability, dishonesty and plot -- Viola! One “must read” book that equals hours of unadulterated pleasure.

-- George M. Steinbrenner III

   

Written with effortless command of history and language, "Man o' War: A Legend Like Lightning" frees Thoroughbred racing's greatest icon from nearly a century of mythology and mystery. In its pages, Man o' War lives in all his complexity: emphatic; breathtaking; maddening; both a blessing and a curse to those who cultivated his superlative talent. "Man o' War" is a riveting work, researched meticulously and told brilliantly.

-- Laura Hillenbrand, author of Seabiscuit: An American Legend

The golden era of racing and its greatest star come to life in the vivid pages of Dorothy Ours’ outstanding retrospective on Man o’ War.

-- Joe Hirsch, Daily Racing Form
