This richly illustrated, thoroughly researched and completely unauthorized biography—the only full-length biography to cover Howe’s entire playing career—takes readers behind the sports icon to reveal a man who remains immensely popular with young and old.The Howe legend begins on the frozen sloughs of Saskatchewan, where a painfully shy boy from a poverty-ridden family discovered his one advantage in life: major athletic talent. Signed by the Detroit Red Wings at 16, Howe joined celebrated teammates Sid Abel, Ted Lindsay, Terry Sawchuk and Red Kelly to forge a team that dominated the NHL as only the Montreal Canadiens and Edmonton Oilers have since.
