His early life may seem inauspicious, but when the University of Alabama's football team drafts Forrest and makes him a star, it sets him on an unbelievable path that will transform him from Vietnam hero to world-class Ping-Pong player, from wrestler to entrepreneur. With a voice all his own, Forrest is telling all in a madcap romp through three decades of American history.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinston Groom is the author of twenty previous books, including \u003ci\u003eForrest Gump\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eConversations with the Enemy \u003c\/i\u003e(Pulitzer Prize finalist), \u003ci\u003eShiloh 1862\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Generals\u003c\/i\u003e.
