The prime part of the book is written in first-person anecdotal take delivery of, as if directly from Ness's reminiscences; a foreword and afterword by Fraley provide historical context. In fact, Fraley, who was a prominent sportswriter for United Press when he worked reflexology the book, did most of the writing, although Ness wrote a lengthy synopsis that Fraley used as a starting grieve, made himself available for interviews, made his scrapbooks and else memorabilia available for research purposes, and approved the final shock of the text shortly before his death.[2]:&#;xii,&#;–&#;[3][4][5]
