Evel: The High-Flying Life of Evel Knievel by Leigh Montville
A stadium parking lot in the heat, a ramp of plywood and nerve, a man in red, white and blue leathers waving to the crowd as if he has already landed. He has not. That is the point.
Leigh Montville, former senior writer at Sports Illustrated, on Evel Knievel: the jumps, the showmanship, the place he held in American pop culture, and the dark side behind the flash. A biography of the daredevil, warts and all.
