Description
West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life is an unflinching account of Jerry West's life story. Born into adversity, West recounts his journey from a troubled childhood to All-American success at university and a 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers.
With unvarnished honesty, West shares his lifelong struggles with depression, low self-esteem, and complex relationships with fellow NBA legends and team owners. This is a profound confession that has generated much discussion since its publication last year.
A book that will be talked about for years to come, West by West offers a fascinating insight into the life of one of basketball's most revered icons.
