Foxcatcher

In 'Foxcatcher', Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz provides a first-person account of his recruitment by John du Pont and the creation of Team Foxcatcher.

The book mixes personal memoir with investigative detail about du Pont's escalating paranoia and manipulation of wrestlers.

Schultz depicts the complicated relationships, the lure of du Pont's funding, and the psychological toll on those in his orbit.

The narrative culminates in the tragic murder of Dave Schultz and examines how money and power can enable dangerous behavior.

Schultz's perspective offers insight into elite wrestling culture and the human cost of belonging to a toxic patronage system.
