'Bobby Fischer Goes to War'

I just read this book cover to cover (it's a red hardcover). Loved it!! I've read a few other bio books about the 1972 "match of the century," but this one is by far the most insightful/complete an account. I truly recommend it!

After reading this I couldn't help but feel that Bobby Fischer is either somewhat autistic or has simply been socially stunted in growth. He acted like a spoiled 8-year-old genius banging his fists on the table through the whole match, trying to get his way. The portrait is accurate as far as I can tell and he comes off as a sad tragic character.

Has anyone read this book??

Read most of it in bookstore. I had read almost everything before so it was just a rehash for me. apparently anything with Fischer's name on it will sell. It's a story that has been told many times before.

What exactly was the title of the book?

What war it is?

the title of the book is "Bobby Fischer Goes to War" (the thread title).

the "war" it's referring to is a symbolic war between the Soviets and the Capitalists (America)...the cold war.
