The Room (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780977708246)

How many concussions should an American high school football star suffer before the coach says, "Enough"? The Westinghouse High School Bulldogs were legendary champs. Their record based on victory at any cost allowed their coach to run clinics on how to turn young bodies to iron. Meanwhile the players, John M. Brewer among them, underwent astonishing brutality and exploitation. A powerful memoir of a dedicated young athlete's growth, pain and triumph over injustice. A moving tale of father and son. Memoirist/historian John M. Brewer is Special Consultant to Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum of Art and archivist of the Pittsburgh Courier photographic collection.
