At the 2004 Masters, fan favorite Phil Mickelson won the green jacket while finally capturing his first (and long-overdue) major tournament. In One Magical Sunday (But Winning Isn’t Everything), Mickelson teams up with veteran journalist Donald T. Phillips to provide a chatty hole-by-hole analysis of his unforgettable final round. Interspersed throughout are anecdotes confirming Mickelson’s wholesome, all-American persona, in addition to warm testimonials from family and friends. A nice selection of photos follows the trail of Mickelson’s life, from birth through early success as a young golf champion, into marriage and fatherhood, and on to national acclaim.
Valiant Women is a vital and engrossing attempt to correct the record and rightfully celebrate the achievements of female veterans of World War II.
