«Seabiscuit: Three Men and a Racehorse» is Laura Hillenbrand's non-fiction chronicle, published by Fourth Estate in paperback (448 pages, in English).
Seabiscuit, a small horse with crooked knees, spent years on minor circuits until three men joined forces to turn him into a legend. The book weaves together the Great Depression, horse racing, and the lives of his owner Charles Howard, his trainer Tom Smith, and his jockey Red Pollard, who saw in him a symbol for the United States.
The book won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year and was adapted into a movie by Gary Ross, starring Tobey Maguire and Jeff Daniels.
A read for fans of horse racing and of the social and sporting history of the United States in the twentieth century.
