Starts off as a typical tragedy of an athlete obsessed with being the best, and how he's becomes bitter and leaves ruin around him.

Except it's not. In sports biographies, most great athletes come across as self absorbed prima donnas. Williams comes across as a guy worth respecting for different (and better) reasons than his athletic performance.

It covers Williams' early life, baseball career, and combat service-- but focuses on his later life. It is one of the best short sports biographies I've ever read. Richard Ben Cramer is an excellent writer.
