Summary "From ESPN journalists whose investigation garnered a Peabody Award, the full devastating story of former physician Larry Nassar's serial abuse of America's elite gymnasts and others, revealing the win-at-all-costs culture in youth athletics and higher education that enabled him"-- Provided by publisher.
Barr and Murphy tell the full devastating story of former physician Larry Nassar's serial abuse of America's elite gymnasts and others -- for over a quarter century. They reveal the win-at-all-costs culture in youth athletics and higher education that enabled him. When warnings were raised, self-serving leaders chose to protect their organizations' reputations over the well-being of young people. -- adapted from jacket
