The true story of a Chicago gang member who was shot and paralyzed and became a world-class wheelchair athlete
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"A compelling and richly sociological memoir. The incisive introduction and conclusion highlight how and why Melvin's successes are not simply of his own making. Wheelchair Warrior provides the reader with an enlightening analysis of how history and society intersect with biography in Melvin's life."
-Kent Sandstrom, University of Northern Iowa
