Fighting Back: The Chris Nilan Story is a riveting and unflinching look at the life of one of hockey's most feared enforcers. With a foreword by Serge Savard, this memoir reveals the off-ice battle that nearly destroyed Chris Nilan.

Nilan's story is one of triumph over adversity, as he recounts his struggles with alcohol and heroin after his playing career ended. From his days as an intimidating player for the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers to his personal battles with addiction, this book offers a fascinating and troubling expose of the darker side of sports.

A gripping and honest account of one athlete's fight against his demons, Fighting Back is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the world of professional sports and the human cost of success.
