About this ebook
Lewis’s story is more than a book about a man attempting to win a gold medal in a sport that offers little more than personal rewards. It is about challenging convention, overcoming defeat and working outside of an established system. Assault on Lake Casitas is a compelling tale of competition at the highest possible level and the emotions that fuel obsession.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my all time favorite books period. I don't care what mountain you're climbing, what disease you're fighting, or how challenging your job - this book will inspire you to do your very best. Being a good listener is important, but sometimes you have to go with your own vision and be fanatical about being your own advisor. It all comes down to you in the end for many accomplishments - not necessarily for family, or spouse or friends - but if you want to do something great in sports or business you often have to trust yourself. Rarely do we get a view into the mind and mission of someone so obsessively fixated on the prize. One incredible book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Raw and riveting read. Compelling read. Recommended for anyone in the pursuit of excellence, esp in sports
