Item Description
This special edition's release coincided with the announcement of Bleier becoming a member of the Steelers Hall of Honor Class of 2018. The original 1975 first edition which chronicled Bleier’s story of being wounded in the Vietnam War in 1969 but beating the odds and returning to the Steelers was written by Bleier and Terry O'Neil. The new release, which includes two new chapters written by Gene Collier, also includes a foreword written by Alejandro Villanueva, who was a captain in the U.S. Army.
“The whole thing with the book was I wanted to re-do the book, bring it back in hard back and have another edition,” said Bleier. “I wanted to update it. We went over ideas and were able to do this. The idea is it’s now called Fighting Back for Veterans. The idea was to be a voice for the veterans today. There are new pictures, so it’s up-to-date so other generations can enjoy. It’s a story. It’s one of those timeless stories of obstacles, and overcoming and perseverance that generations need to read.”
