Game of Shadows: Barry Bonds, BALCO, and the Steroids Scandal That Rocked Professional Sports

Various anecdotes and bits of back-story on the infamous "steroids scandal" that rocked professional baseball in the early 21st century. The narration was very good: the reader seemed genuinely enthused about the text, and that helped to hold my interest. The book was an interesting snapshot of a time just before Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron's home run record. Sadly, the drug abuse and cheating continue today.
