Foxcatcher
ByPublisher Description
The riveting true story of Olympic wrestling gold medal-winning brothers Mark Schultz and Dave Schultz and their fatal relationship with the eccentric John du Pont, heir to the du Pont dynasty
On January 26, 1996, Dave Schultz, Olympic gold medal winner and wrestling golden boy, was shot three times by du Pont family heir John E. du Pont at the famed Foxcatcher Farms estate in Pennsylvania. Following the murder there was a tense standoff when du Pont barricaded himself in his home for two days before he was finally captured.
Foxcatcher is gold medal winner Mark Schultz’s memoir, revealing what made him and his brother champion and what brought them to Foxcatcher Farms. It’s a vivid portrait of the complex relationship he and his brother had with du Pont, a man whose catastrophic break from reality led to tragedy. No one knows the inside story of what went on behind the scenes at Foxcatcher Farms—and inside John du Pont’s head—better than Mark Schultz.
The incredible true story of these championship-winning brothers and the wealthiest convicted murderer of all time will be making headlines this fall, and Mark’s memoir will reveal the true inside story.

“The title of this book should be Foxcatcher: The True Story of Me and How Awesome I Am, How I Suffered, and Maybe Some Information on John du Pont's Murder of Dave Shultz.
Talk about misleading! I completely do not care at all about wrestling, and I was lured into this story on the hope of an interesting murder story - then led on a whiny tale about how much it sucked to be a world-class Olympian. What a waste of my time.”

“I think this book was less about Mark Schultz’s brother and more about how great Mark Schultz was and how much he hated DuPont despite allowing him in his life so completely. In all, I think Dave Schultz was in about 10% of this book.”
