Resumen del Editor
It was 4:30 P.M. on Wednesday, April 5, 2006. The program's darkest hour had arrived in an unexpected and explosive announcement.
Pressler, a three-time ACC Coach of the Year, informed his team that its season was canceled and that he had "resigned", effective immediately. While his words reverberated off the walls, hysteria erupted. Players cried, confused over a course of events that had spun wildly out of control. What began as an off-campus team party with two hired strippers had accelerated into a rape investigation, one that exposed prosecutorial misconduct, shoddy police work, an administration's rush to judgment, and the media's disregard for the facts, dividing both a prestigious university and the city of Durham.
Wiping away tears, Pressler demonstrated the steely resolve that helped him win more than 200 games. For the next 30 minutes, Pressler put his personal situation aside and encouraged his players to stick together. He also made a bold promise: "One day, we will get a chance to tell the world the truth. One day".
This is that day.
Pressler, who has not done an interview since the saga began, has handed his private diary from those three weeks to New York Times best-selling author Don Yaeger, exposing vivid details, including the day Pressler was fired, when the coach asked Athletic Director Joe Alleva why the school "wasn't willing to wait for the truth" to come out. "It's not about the truth anymore," Alleva said to the coach in a signature moment that said it all. In addition to Pressler, Yaeger interviewed more than 75 key figures intimately involved in the case. The result is a tale that defies logic.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Even if you didn't follow the case, you will like the book because the danger of a rogue prosecutor is exposed." (Brian Kilmeade, Fox News)

Historia
It's a scandal that began in a place called Happy Valley. But it's not as happy as it once was, as the child-sex-abuse charges against a longtime coach and the conspiracy of silence surrounding the allegations have rocked America and Division 1 college sports. In Game Over, journalists Bill Moushey and Bob Dvorchak investigate claims of a startling cover-up within the Penn State hierarchy that attempted to protect its football legacy, quite possibly at the expense of disenfranchised children.

On September 15, 1963, the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL, was bombed, killing four young girls. Who were the perpetrators? Due to reluctant witnesses and racial prejudice, the FBI closed the case without any indictments. But as Martin Luther King, Jr., claimed, "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Bending Toward Justice is a detailed account of this key moment in our national struggle for equality and the long road to prosecuting those responsible for the tragedy, related by an author who played a major role in the investigation.

Historia
College football has never been more popular - or more chaotic. Millions fill 100,000-seat stadiums every Saturday; tens of millions more watch on television every weekend. The 2013 Discover BCS National Championship game between Notre Dame and Alabama had a viewership of 26.4 million people, second only to the Super Bowl. Billions of dollars from television deals now flow into the game; the average budget for a top-ten team is $80 million; top coaches make more than $3 million a year; the highest paid, more than $5 million.

On a cool, overcast afternoon in April 2016, a salacious tip arrived at the L.A. Times that reporter Paul Pringle thought should have taken, at most, a few weeks to check out: a drug overdose at a fancy hotel involving one of the University of Southern California’s shiniest stars—Dr. Carmen Puliafito, the head of the prestigious medical school. Pringle, who’d long done battle with USC and its almost impenetrable culture of silence, knew reporting the story wouldn’t be a walk in the park. USC is the largest private employer in the city of L.A., and it casts a long shadow.

Charged with racial, sexual, and political overtones, the confirmation of Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court justice was one of the most divisive spectacles the country has ever seen. Anita Hill's accusation of sexual harassment by Thomas, and the attacks on her that were part of his high-placed supporters rebuttal, both shocked the nation and split it into two camps.

He shows how national fraternities are reacting to a slowly dawning new reality and asks what the rest of us should do about it. Should we ban them outright, or will they only be driven underground? Can an institution this broken be saved?

After 35 years as a defender, he ran for mayor of Las Vegas, and America’s greatest Mob lawyer became the mayor of its sexiest city.

It was the trial that stunned America, the verdict that shocked us all. On July 5, 2011, nearly three years after her initial arrest, Casey Anthony walked away, virtually scot-free, from one of the most sensational murder trials of all time. She'd been accused of killing her daughter, Caylee, but the trial only left behind more questions: Was she actually innocent? What really happened to Caylee? Was this what justice really looked like?

Rudy Giuliani was hailed after 9/11 as “America’s Mayor,” a national hero who, at the time, was more widely admired than the pope. He was brilliant, accomplished—and complicated. He conflated politics with morality, made reckless personal choices, and engaged in self-destructive behavior. A series of disastrous decisions and cynical compromises, coupled with his need for power, money, and attention gradually ruined his reputation, cost him political support, and ultimately damaged the country.

Incredible Injustice
I found this book so interesting. I knew when this whole thing went down in 2006 that those boys were innocent, so it was very interesting to me to see how it all shook down. I am outraged at the injustice and the atrocities they had to withstand. It hurts to think this kind of thing happens in the USA.
I like the narrator a lot, but he tends to have a Damon Runyon-like accent. It sometimes seems affected, and can make him a little hard to take seriously. But it was only a minor distraction to me.

A real eye-opener
Shame on you Duke faculty and administration. Aren't Duke students innocent until proven guilty too?

Highly Recommended
First, this was a powerful, well-written book, and there is so much going on inside this horrifying story that it more than fills every minute of running time with fascinating details you want to learn more about. The narration is professional and ideally suited to the material, so much so that the narrator practically disappears behind the well-presented story line. So purely as entertaining, compelling reading (listening), it gets very high marks. But it is also an IMPORTANT story, one that needs to be told and understood by anyone who cares about the way our criminal justice system works (or, occasionally, DOESN'T work). Perhaps the heroes appear a bit too heroic and the villains are a bit too villianous, and it almost feels like a carefully plotted Grisham thriller at times . . . but you can't help concluding that it probably seems that way because these people really WERE that heroic and/or despicable and this impossible situation really did happen. Are there other sides to this story that could be told as well? Possibly. And if they ever are, I can only hope they are told as powerfully and fairly and compellingly as Yeager and Pressler told this story. As a result, I highly recommend this book, both because it is an important story that needs to be heard, but also because the authors and narrator make that medicine go down in a surprisingly enjoyable, compellingly readable way.

Infuriating Situation
It's Not About the Truth is a well written take on an infuriating situation. I remember this case coming out my Freshman year of college, so I found it very relatable. Many parts of the story are hard to listen to, the party, the treatment of the "dancers", the investigation, and the treatment of the coach and players by university leadership.
Please take note that the story is primarily told from Mike Pressler, the Duke Lacrosse coach's point of view. Don Yaeger adds additional facts to fill in the story, but many requests for interviews with detectives, prosecutors, and university leadership were denied.
At the end of the day, this is a story that truly shows that one bad decision can have life-long implications for many people.

A must read
What made the experience of listening to It's Not About the Truth the most enjoyable?
Compelling book. Every law student and lawyer, as well as every young person going to college, should be required to read/listen to this book. What happened to Coach Pressler and the Duke Lacrosse players was a travesty and a witch hunt.

Fantastic book
I've listened to about 300 books about a number of different subjects, but none can compare with this story and the twists and turns along the way. The letter from the former coach's daughter to the Duke President was about as good as it gets. A truly great audiobook.

UNBELIEVIABLE
What a story. This must be what the Civil Rights Movement refers to as persecution of skin. This book is as riveting as any fiction I have ever listened to. These people were greatly and needlessly wronged. Nifong and the Accuser should be jailed. The State of North Carolina, Duke University, the Gang of 88 rabid Leftists, and many in the Media should pay millions in damage and millions more in punitive justice. This book should be required reading for anyone sending a child off to college.

biases but interesting
I was very intrested in this case, and wanted to know a little bit more from the inside. Since it was supposed to be written sort of 5 Mike pressler, I thought this would be a good inside book. However it turned out to be more of a book by a very conservative journalist c** or the seemingly so. He definitely could get a job on Fox News. So I'm not sure what 100% of how accurate 70 information is here, but if it is accurate it really is a sad thing. I didn't follow the story that closely when it happened but have been involved in education for many years so Mana to see how University handle such a crisis. It does seem That the University did not handle it well. I wish the book had gotten more into some of the actual reactions of the player's family and coaches. Maybe a little more of an inside look at what happened between them and the AD at the president. But over all an interesting makes you want to learn more.
