Great Read
This is a fabulous book for hockey fans of all ages and even for non-hockey fans just interested in some Soviet history.The book details what it was like for a Harvard-educated young man to find himself in the midst of the Cold War.It is fascinating to learn about how the Soviets trained and the difficult environment that they lived in.The book truly makes one appreciate living here as we see how difficult it was for the author to live in the Soviet Union.The book is easy to read and very funny in places.I highly recommend it. ...

Excellent biography of one of hockey's all-star characters.
A truly wonderful book for any fan of the great Canadian game. It tells the life story of Howie Meeker, one time war veteran, politician, winger, coach and very briefly manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, not to mention broadcaster and seminal teacher of the game.Read more

Hockey's Finest Photographic Record
I own many hockey books, and this book is, by far, the one I open up most often.Each picture takes you into a world of NHL hockey that has long passed away.The beautiful full-color photographs will cause you to forget that they are images of the fastest moving sport in the world.It's as if the players have posed for the camera in an attempt to recreate hidden moments of the game.The facial expressions alone will capture your eye.You'll find yourself scanning every detail of the pictures, looking for that elusive black puck (and you'll find that puck in nearly every picture).This book is a pure treasure for fans of the game of hockey, in particular those fans who remember the simple days of 6 teams, 120 players, 1 Cup.

Practically better than watching hockey on TV!
You can literally spend hours looking at this book and not tire of the images.They're so life-like it's eerie.Harold Barkley's strobe photography techniques give the pictures a "3-D" quality that is completely absent in today's "flat" images.Of course, the fact that the stars in the photos are from the "Golden Era" (50's and 60's) make the book all that much better.These stills make you yearn for the hockey of yesteryear, even if you weren't there!The flat sticks, the glossy narrow skates, the bryl-cream donned hair (helmet, what helmet?) - it's all here right down to the ice-shavings littering the goal crease, all in awesome detail. Crystalline color photos from hockey's glory years
Wow! Buy this book just for the fabulous photographs taken by Harold Barkley, a long-time photgrapher with the Toronto Star. Barkley pioneered the use of the strobe in sports photography, and the detail he captured inthese bright color photos is phenomenal--the texture of the ice, themeticulously greased and combed hair on the players, the rows ofdark-suited spectators in the audience. This is how hockey used to look!The text consists of 1-2 page spreads on individual players of the day. Thestars are all here, of course, but more interesting, to me anyway, are theplayers who've slipped from memory--Andy Hebenton, Norm Ullman, CamilleHenry, Elmer Vasko. These names ring bells for fans who grew up in thatera, but you seldom hear them now. Yet, here they are, preserved for usboth in prose and in pristine photographic detail. This book's a gem. ...
