| Synopsis Evel Knievel's death-defying motorcycle stunts made him world-famous in the 1970s. This is his story.
Publisher's Note Robert "Evel" Knievel is one of the most unique heroes to earn a place in the collective psyche of this country. A high school dropout, an award-winning athlete, a petty thief, a motorcycle racer, and a political activist, Knievel earned his nickname because of his unlawful activities early in his life, but rode that name to fame by consistently tempting death in the public eye. The story of Evel Knievel is the story of America. Coming out of rough-and-tumble Butte, Montana, with little more than some natural athletic ability and shocking audacity, Evel Knievel is the personification of the American Dream. With a showman's panache and a madman's daring, he has risen--along with the likes of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe--past mere celebrity to the exalted level of American Icon. Today, at sixty-one years of age, Evel still makes headlines, proving that the appeal of a daredevil never dies. From his recent liver transplant to his son Robbie's jump of the Grand Canyon to his very public support of mandatory helmet laws, Knievel remains foremost in the minds of his millions of fans. Evel Knievel stands as a perfect example of a certain uniquely American aesthetic, one in which pride and heart can overcome any circumstances at all. | See an error?
