{"product_id":"west-by-west-my-charmed-tormented-life-book-1","title":"West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life Book","description":"Jerry West is one of the most revered and enigmatic sports icons of all time, but beneath the surface lies a complicated man who shares his true story with unflinching candor.\u003cbr\u003eWEST BY WEST recounts West's difficult journey from an abusive childhood in West Virginia (and the loss of a beloved brother to war) to his All-American success at West Virginia University, and his brilliant 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. He speaks openly for the first time about his lifelong battle with depression, low self-esteem, and his complex relationships with NBA legends Elgin Baylor, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pat Riley, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant, with owners Jack Kent Cooke and Jerry Buss, coach Phil Jackson, and many more. Unsparing in its self-assessment, WEST BY WEST is a profound confession and a magnificent inspiration, a book that generated much discussion when it was published last year and is sure to be talked about for years to come.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by Jerry West and Jonathan Coleman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover 352 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003ePublished by Little, Brown and Company\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"General Reading","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67688260567214,"sku":"TR 9780316053495","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bookexchangewv.com\/products\/west-by-west-my-charmed-tormented-life-book-1","provider":"The Book Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
