Game of Shadows by Lance Williams, Mark Fainaru-wada (2007, Paperback)

The problem with this book is the motive of the authors Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-wada. Both these men wrote this book for pure profit and therefore their intentions are questionable. Furthermore, their insinuations against the atletes and Barry Bonds cannot be verified because they used illegal testimony. They claim they read the original grand jury testimony but nobody can verify this and the originator of this testimony came from a convicted felon attorney serving a hard 2 years in federal prison! Williams and Fainaru-wada worked for a small independent publication in San Francisco and their only goal was to profit from the most popular figure in San Francisco, Barry Bonds. Their credibility is zero compared to someone like Jose Canseco who played with these players and wrote his own book. Furthermore, the media mostly caucasian and graduates from the north east journalism schools don't like Barry Bonds because he is unfriendly to them but the fans feel different. Just look at the 28 consecutive sell outs Barry and Giants have achieved with half coming on the road and the San Diego Fans, a bitter divisional rival standing and cheering loudly after Bonds hit his 755th Home Run! If the government had a good case of perjury against Barry they would have indicted him over 2 years ago, they continue to pray and hope that Barry's trainer might give them some sort of information for them to use but that remains not an option!

Game of Shadowns is nothing more than 2 unsuccessful journalists trying to make money off of a successful athlete by using stolen, illegal undocumented allegations and grand jury testimony unsubstantianted claims! I trust Jose Canseco 100% more than two Frisco media guys!
