Most of us think of bowling as a "sport" in quotation marks, and bowling alleys are places with disco balls, matching shirts, and funny shoes. But in the 1960s, New York City was the center of "action bowling", a form of high-stakes gambling in which bowlers - often teenagers - faced off for thousands of dollars every night. When money like that is changing hands, you can bet the pressure is on (and the balls are rigged), and losses come with dire consequences.

The bowling history nobody knows about

I won't do a full review here, but I will say I found this book fascinating. As a lifelong bowler, and action bowler myself, I never knew the true scope of how intense action bowling was back in the day. Great read for bowlers and non-bowlers alike.
