Book Reviews of Sons of Samson, Volume 2
Book Review: For all strength sports fans
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is written by strength sports historian David Webster. He has been involved in highland games and strongman now for many years and knows all of the athletes personally. This book is the second of a series that profiles the top strongmen primarily of the mid 80's to early 90's. The largest section of this book is dedicated to the sport's top star of that time period, Jon Pall Sigmarsson, a four time World's Strongest Man, who unfortunately, died prematurely at the age of only 33. I highly recommend this book if you are into strongman.
