Basketball fans who consider Jerry West a legend will be surprised to learn that at the end of the day he is simply a man carrying around a lot of baggage. His brutally candid autobiography,
West by West: My Charmed Tormented Life, discusses not only his glowing achievements but also lower points including physical abuse as a child, the death of his beloved brother, and West's struggle with clinical depression. The intertwined brilliance and agony that is Jerry West's life is a powerful narrative that will draw fans in from the first page.
