Seabiscuit

An American Legend

Laura Hillenbrand's considerable brilliance as a writer is underscored by her ability to coax into the light what she writes about in the Acknowledgements section of Seabiscuit: "the texture of my subjects' personalities, their complex relationships, motives, fears, thoughts, and secrets." I have great respect not only for Hillenbrand's writing, but also for her storytelling, which breathed life into long-dead characters and recreated the mystique, the strategy, the intensity, the extreme demands and the thrill of horse racing.
