149 pages with black and white photos. The extraordinary tale of a man who chafed for a decade under the personal and professional chains of Soviet hockey, fighting it every step of the way until in 1989 - with one desperate gamble that could have ended his international hockey career - he finally won his freedom and a chance to play in the National Hockey League with the Vancouver Canucks. This is a hockey story, a close-up, inside look at the Soviet system that produces world championship teams but, says Larionov, only at enormous individual cost. Shows the Team Canada-Russia hockey series from the Soviet side of the puck. A picture of life in the Soviet Union painted by a thoughtful, gifted athlete whol oves his game but always knew it was only a port of the life he wanted for himself and his family. Book clean and unmarked with light wear. Moderate wear and two short closed tears to dust jacket. Quality copy.
