Rome 1960 by David Maraniss

Has anybody else read this ? I got it as a Christmas present. Needless to say it has tons of Track in it.

Maraniss makes a bevy of minor factual errors ( Dave Sime is from " Fairview" NJ, Brumel never jumped 7' prior to the OG's, etc.)) but I've seen nothing horrible yet.

If nothing else it also has a lot of great photos and inside stories; hopefully they are accurate.

Yes, it's a very interesting book. I think it was already discussed a few months ago on this board.
I thought it was interesting how he called Cordner Nelson, Cord. I've never heard anyone call him that.
