From “the master of new journalism [who always] hits it over the fence” (New York Times) and “one of the finest writers on sports anywhere” (USA Today), The American Game tells the scintillating story of lacrosse–the game invented by the Haudenosaunee, played with more passion than any other, that stubbornly mirrors America’s ongoing struggle with inclusivity.

S.L. Price, a senior writer at Sports Illustrated for twenty-six years, is the author of four previous books, including Playing through the Whistle, Finalist for the 2017 PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing, and Pitching around Fidel, a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Price has also written for Vanity Fair, New York Times, Time, and Oxford American. He lives in Washington, DC with his family.
