In this week’s edition of “Conversations with Clayton,” I talk with David Davis, the author of a fantastic new work of sports history entitled Wheels of Courage: How Paralyzed Veterans from World War II Invented Wheelchair Sports, Fought for Disability Rights, and Inspired a Nation.
Wheels of Courage belongs on every “best of” 2020 booklist. Not only is this a deeply human and inspiring story. Through the lives of three men who pioneered wheelchair basketball at V.A. hospitals, we see taboos crumble and a social movement in its infancy.
