256 pages - Paperback
"A Spartan Journey" provides uncanny insights into the world of amateur wrestling in the 1960s. It serves up a behind-the-scenes look at Waterloo West, one of the nation's high school powerhouses of that time, as well as at Michigan State, a college program that went from the cellar of the Big Ten to penthouse (1967 Big Ten and NCAA champs) in three short seasons. And it provides fascinating reading on coaches and competitors who remain well-known a half-century later.
