CRASHING AUGUSTA is a wild journey beyond the ropes of professional
sports. Walk the undulating hills of Augusta National, home of the
Masters and learn why it may be the planet's greatest golf
tournament. Hurl yourself into a Super Bowl week with ticket
hustlers who risk life and limb to make or lose a fortune gambling
on the big ticket. Explore our national obsession with steroids,
and run with the World's Fastest Man. Rites of manhood are anything
but a game, as you'll discover in a deadly tale of an initiation
gone mad. Five original Playboy stories of man at his strongest,
swiftest and most dangerous. The perfect antidote for a lazy Sunday
afternoon. Jonathan Littman is the bestselling author of 8 books
(The Fugitive Game and The Art of Innovation) and a Contributing
Editor at Playboy. "Crashing Augusta is a showcase for Jonathan
Littman's talents. If you want to know the truth about everything
from steroids in sports to hazing rites that turn deadly and the
famed Masters golf tournament, Littman offers it in the most
entertaining and emotionally compelling form you can find." -Robert
Sutton, Stanford Professor and bestselling author of Good Boss, Bad
Boss. "Jonathan Littman combines blunt-nosed reporting with an
empathy for his subjects to create uncommonly intimate portraits of
some of sport's most intriguing worlds, from a backstage visit to
golf's Masters to the hustlers who rule the Super Bowl." -Michael
Walker, author of the national bestseller Laurel Canyon: The Inside
Story of Rock and Roll's Legendary Neighborhood.
