Agassi,Mike The Agassi Story
Australia Allen & Unwin 2004 1741144825 / 9781741144826 Trade Paperback Good Condition (ex-library)
177 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Tanned pages. Clear, self-adhesive laminate to covers/boards. Minor creasing to covers. Ex-library with usual marks, stamps, stickers.. The Agassi Story is Mike Agassi's own account of his family's story, presenting a wealth of new insights into his famous son Andre's life. It follows the story of Mike's childhood in the streets of Tehran, his career as an Olympic boxer, his immigration to America first to Chicago, and later to Las Vegas, where he coached tennis and groomed his children to become sporting dynamos. But his teachings came with a high price, and tensions between Mike and his children threatened to pull the family apart. With his youngest child, Mike managed to instil his own revolutionary style into Andre's game. Once a flamboyant rebel and easily rattled, Andre's marriage to Steffi Graf and his incredible comeback as world number one at the ripe old tennis age' of 33, has dramatically changed him into a calm, composed, humble tennis champion. Previously untold stories illuminate this rags-to-riches account of an athletic, talented American family. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Biography & Autobiography; ISBN: 1741144825.

Allen,David Rayvern Jim: The Life of E.W. Swanton
Great Britain Aurum Press 2003 1854109006 / 9781854109002 First Edition Hardcover As New New
Multiple copies available this title. The death of E.W. Swanton in January 2000, at the age of 92, brought to an end a remarkable life that spanned, and in many ways summed up, almost the whole of the 20th century. He was best known as the doyen of cricket correspondents, reporting for the Daily Telegraph, editing "The Cricketer" magazine, summarising the day's play for "Test Match Special" in his mellifluous baritone, and publishing over 20 books. But there was much more to him. Captured in the fall of Singapore, he spent several years as a prisoner of the Japanese on the notorious Burma-Siam railway - a savage experience during which he embraced a lifelong Christian faith. He was an outspoken critic of the cricket establishment's appeasement of apartheid South Africa. He seemed to know everyone among the great and the good, from prime ministers to governors-general, in every country he visited. He is even supposed to have watched the great W.G. Grace play - from his pram. A confirmed bachelor until the age of 50, he then enjoyed 40 years of happy marriage. Some thought him arrogant, even snobbish ("He is quite prepared", went the joke, "to travel in the same car as his chauffeur"), but countless others, from young cricketers whom he encouraged to local people in his home county of Kent whom he helped in times of trouble, testified to his limitless generosity. For all his grandness and dignity, to everyone who knew him he was simply, "Jim". Quantity Available: 5. Category: Biography & Autobiography; Sport, Fishing, Hunting, Guns. ISBN: 1854109006.

Alsamari,Lewis Out of Iraq
Great Britain Bantam Press 2007 0593058240 / 9780593058244 Trade Paperback New
Aged 17, Lewis Alsamari was conscripted into the Iraqi army. Things went from bad to worse once his superiors discovered his ability to speak English, and Lewis was selected for Saddam's elite, top secret intelligence service, an offer he literally could not refuse. This left him with only one option - to escape from his native land, leaving his family behind him.Going under the wire of the army compound where he was posted, Lewis was shot in the leg, making his escape - which required a gruelling journey in disguise across the desert at night with a group of Bedouin, at the mercy of ravenous wolves - all the more arduous. Against the odds, Lewis survived this trek, made it across the border into Oman, and eventually sought asylum the UK, where he had spent his childhood. Now he had to work out how to rescue his mother and sister, who had been thrown into Abu Ghraib once Lewis's escape became known. The only thing which could help was money and lots of it, so Lewis fraudulently transferred 37,500 from the accounts of William Hill (where he had a temporary job) into his own bank, and wired it to Baghdad in order to pay the necessary bribes. But, of course, it wasn't quite that simple.OUT OF IRAQ is an exhilarating and terrifying story of one man's escape from one of the harshest regimes of the modern era. It is testament both to the strength of the human spirit and to the extremes we'll go to in order to keep our families safe. Quantity Available: 1.
