"A Sporting Chance: How Ludwig Guttmann Created the Paralympic Games" by Lori Alexander tells the inspiring story of Ludwig Guttmann, a neurologist who transformed the lives of people with disabilities through the power of sports.

His innovative ideas culminated in the first-ever Paralympic Games in 1960, highlighting the strength and resilience of athletes with disabilities. This book celebrates Guttmann’s legacy and the evolution of the Paralympic movement, emphasizing the importance of inclusion and empowerment.
