Summary

The story of a historic championship season, told by the Sixers general manager who saw it up close. 
 
The Sixers won 65 games and an NBA championship in 1982-83—still one of the finest seasons in NBA history. It was Moses Malone who, in the days before the playoffs, gave the team its battle cry. Asked by coach Billy Cunningham how he thought things would go in the playoffs, Moses said, “Fo’, fo’, fo’,” meaning, in Moses’ shorthand, that he expected the Sixers to sweep each of the three series they would need to play in order to win a championship.  
 
In this book, the former Sixers general manager Pat Williams writes about those Sixers—the transcendent talents and unforgettable personalities like Julius Erving, Bobby Jones, Maurice Cheeks, and Andrew Toney—that made them special, the years of heartache that preceded the championship run, and a season that was surprisingly devoid of drama.

    In 1968, nine sailors set off on the most daring race ever held: to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe nonstop. It was a feat that had never been accomplished and one that would forever change the face of sailing. Ten months later, only one of the nine men would cross the finish line and earn fame, wealth, and glory. For the others, the reward was madness, failure, and death.In this extraordinary book, Peter Nichols chronicles a contest of the individual against the sea, waged at a time before cell phones, satellite dishes, and electronic positioning systems. A Voyage for Madmen is a tale of sailors driven by their own dreams and demons, of horrific storms in the Southern Ocean, and of those riveting moments when a split-second decision means the difference between life and death.
