Heroes, Icons and Scandals (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781771400763)

Twenty years ago, Barnet Shenkin's Playing with the Bridge Legends gave readers a fascinating insight into what it is like to play with and against the best in the game. In some ways, this book is a sequel to that one -- it focuses on the great characters in the history of bridge, both the heroes and those subject to scandal. Including chapters on Culbertson, Belladonna, Garozzo and Zia, the book also provides behind-the-scenes accounts of the cheating scandals in Bermuda and Buenos Aires involving Reese, Schapiro and the Italian Blue Team, as well as those from the last decade that were uncovered through video evidence and hand analysis. As in his first book, the author draws on his own experiences at the very top of the game.
