Summary:
Brown's phenomenal nine-year career with the Cleveland Browns is only part of his, the opening salvo to a much more sprawling epic. He parlayed his athletic fame into stardom in Hollywood, was an outspoken Black Power icon in the 1960s, and he formed Black Economic Unions to challenge racism in the business world. But his career has not been non-controversial. Zirin redefines an American icon, and not always in a flattering light. -- adapted from jacket
