The Olympian: An American Triumph By Craig T. Williams

My review of the book as posted on Amazon.com:

"The story of John Baxter Taylor Jr. is one that's truly inspirational. Taylor's story provides the finest example of what one can achieve in life when the six letter word excuse is made to cower in the shadow of ones' courage, integrity and faith. The author, Craig Williams, captures the essence of the spirit of this great American in this work of historical fiction. In my mind, it's stories like this that help encourage young men and women like myself to continue to strive confidently in the direction of their dreams. Mr. Williams' work has added a significant piece to the interwoven fabric that makes up the rich history of America. It's these types of stories that need to be remembered and told. I'm grateful Craig Williams dedicated a part of his life to make sure the life story of a true American hero was not only remembered, but never forgotten."
