Special Order

Go Up for Glory is a basketball memoir that transcends the court and a memoir of manhood that transcends time. First published in 1966, Bill Russell's narrative traces his childhood in segregated America and reveals the challenges he faced as a Black man, even when he was a celebrated NBA star, on a path to being forever acknowledged as one of the greatest players of all time. An urgent reminder of how far we still have to go, Go Up for Glory is honest, unvarnished, and real: in sentences and scenes that sear into the reader's brain, it is an essential expression of one man's experience of life.
