About this title

Synopsis

It wasn’t about war. It wasn’t about politics. It was about people helping people, in the most dangerous place on earth. Termite Watkins met his future Olympic boxing team in the middle of a war. Surrounded by American military, his heart immediately went out to the twenty-four Iraqi men who awaited him in the Baghdad soccer stadium. Without headgear, mouthpieces and even shoes they were desperate for this opportunity, this freedom to box. The heart they showed inspired the newly designated coach. Termite’s deep faith sustained him through every obstacle, as it had since his teenaged days. Inspirational and exciting, the story of Termite Watkins is one of sheer determination.
