A History of Marathon Swimming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781973782599)

From Matthew Webb to Gertrude Ederle, from Wrigley's Catalina to Juan de Fuca, from Billy Butlin's English Channel races to the Canadian Expo, Joe Grossman has captured the history of marathon swimming. Joe's incredible research and interviews provide us with a glimpse into the minds of swimmers who accomplished incredible things, before the advent of GPS or the Internet. The stories of sheer determination and first hand accounts of incredible swims are amazing to read--a book about heroes and athletes that you won't be able to put down.
