In Road to Valor, Aili and Andres McConnon chronicle Bartali\u2019s journey, from an impoverished childhood in rural Tuscany\u00a0to his first triumph at the 1938 Tour de France. As World War II ravaged Europe, Bartali undertook dangerous activities to help those being targeted in\u00a0Italy, including sheltering a family of Jews and smuggling counterfeit identity documents in the frame of his bicycle. After the\u00a0grueling\u00a0wartime years, the chain-smoking, Chianti-loving, 34-year-old underdog came back to win the 1948 Tour de France, an exhilarating performance that helped unite his fractured homeland.<\/p>\n<p>Based on nearly ten years of research, Road to Valor isthe first book ever written about Bartali in English and the only book written in any language to explore the full scope of Bartali\u2019s wartime work. An epic tale of courage, resilience, and redemption, it is the untold story of one of the greatest athletes of the twentieth century.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Crown; Reprint edition (June 11, 2013) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 352 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 0307590658 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-0307590657 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 11 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.24 x 0.95 x 7.95 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book interesting, engaging, and great.
