The Perilous Fight | Colin Kaepernick
About this Event
About the book
A defining and uncompromising memoir from Super Bowl quarterback and renowned civil rights activist, Colin Kaepernick.
"A candid, observant, generous chronicle of his development as an elite, suddenly dispensable NFL quarterback and also of the relentless, high-profile civil rights warrior he's become." — Booklist Starred Review
On September 1, 2016, Colin Kaepernick took a knee during "The Star Spangled Banner," but the world never fully understood the whole story. In The Perilous Fight, Kaepernick delivers his story with the same unflinching conviction that defined the moment the world watched. Equal parts memoir and manifesto, it traces the off-the-field battles that turned a single act of protest into a movement that changed American sports and culture forever. This is the story of a man who became someone the moment demanded. It is a story about identity, sacrifice, and the cost of courage. And it is, ultimately, a story about all of us and the future we are still fighting to build.
