The story of Dr. Bennet Omalu s battle against the NFL is classic David and Goliath stuff, and Jeanne Marie Laskas one of my favorite writers on earth makes it as exciting as any great courtroom or gridiron drama.

Bennet Omalu forced football to reckon with head trauma. The NFL doesn t want you to hear his story, but Jeanne Marie Laskas makes it unforgettable. This book is gripping, eye-opening, and full of heart. Emily Bazelon, author of "Sticks and Stones""
