About This Item
St .Martin's Press, 1984. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 8x5x1. 1984 FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING hardcover with dustjacket. UNREAD COPY. Bright, unmarked pages and firm binding. Jacket is bright and glossy with minor shelf-rubbing and minor edge wear only. This is NOT an ex-library book, not a remainder, and not price-clipped (still retains the original 1984 cover price on the front jacket flap). A very good, sturdy, collectible, First Edition copy! "Who is the real Mr. T, the man behind all that gold? What makes his appeal so powerful to all - and so magical to children? Now the rest of America can discover what the kids have already figured out: Mr. T is for real, a man whose life story is such an astonishing display of courage, character, and faith as to dwarf the hyped media image and explain why many are already beginning to regard him as a folk hero. In this book - begun when he bought his first gold chain - Mr. T tells his story in his own words and without a ghost writer: 'the unadulterated truth, told, written, and spoken in such terms that even a fool could understand what I am talking about.' With words that dance to the rhythms of street talk and the biblical cadences of a born preacher, Mr. T tells how his mother single-handedly raised twelve children in the grinding poverty of Chicago's worst ghetto, how he managed against all odds to beat the system and make something of himself, and by sheer guts and dedication became the 'greatest bodyguard in the world,' the man who became heavyweight champion Leon Spinks's protector and friend, and to whom the media gave the paradoxical opportunity of playing himself and reaching millions. Armored with his deep Christian faith and natural intelligence, his unbounded courage and a truly startling honesty, Mr. T tells a story that beats from the heart of the American dream.
