Assigned by Sports Illustrated to cover sports in Europe, Price relocated his family to a small hamlet in Provence, and then set out to uncover the soul of world athletic competition. In an attempt to comprehend the planets most intense and bloody sports, he immersed himself in the cricket rivalry between India and Pakistan. He spent time with Lance Armstrong as the cyclist fended off rumors of performanceenhancing drugs. He argued politics with Olympic athletes in Athens, covered Austrias beerdrenched version of the Super Bowl, and caught basketball fever in Belgradeas he, his wife, and children tried to adjust to life in a Europe convulsed by terrorism, antiAmericanism, and George Bushs war in Iraq. Far Afield is an extraordinary memoir of growth, family, and games people play worldwide.
