Veteran New York sportswriter Maury Allen writes candidly of Mickey Mantle's luminous achievements, including being named the American League's MVP three times and hitting an astonishing 536 career home runs; of Mantle's uneasiness at being a national hero; of Mantle' long, eventually triumphant, struggle with alcoholism; and of Mantle's subsequent losing battle with liver cancer.
