No other racehorse has rivaled Seabiscuit’s fame or his sway over the nation’s imagination. Now Laura Hillenbrand unfolds the spellbinding story of this marvelous animal, the world he lived in, and the men who staked their lives and fortunes on his dazzling career. A riveting tale of grit, grace, luck, and an underdog’s stubborn determination, Seabiscuit is an American classic.
