Game of Shadows     Game of Shadows is the controversial expose of steroid abuse in Major League Baseball written by San Francisco Chronicle journalists Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams  Based primarily on leaked grand jury testimony and several well-placed confidential sources, Game of Shadows purports to reveal what really happened inside baseball’s largest scandal since Pete Rose chose the under. The main utility the book provides is the fusion of information from all sources, that is to say it absorbs the convoluted information concerning this issue and synthesizes it into a readable format. From the beginnings of Victor Conte’s career in nutritional supplements to Barry Bond’s career statistics, Game of Shadows chronicles the origin of steroid use in sports and its effects on some of the greatest names to ever play America’s game or wear her flag at the Olympics.
