A Fighter's Heart: One Man's Journey Through the World of Fighting - Tapa blanda

Sam Sheridan, a university graduate and former US Merchant Marine, always had a taste for adventure. So when he found himself in Australia, loaded with cash and intent on spending it all, he realised that he could finally indulge a long-treasured obsession of his: fighting. Driven by a desire to know what only a fighter can - about fear and violence, about the dark side of being a man - he began training with the best of the best. Within a year, he stepped through the ropes for a professional bout against a Japanese Karate champion.

Sam Sheridan joined the US Merchant Marines after high school and then attended Harvard College, from where he graduated in 1998. He has written for Men's Journal and Newsweek. A Fighter's Heart is his first book.
