Rarely does the past come alive as it does through the pages of this wonderful book. Absolutely brilliant - Classic and Sportscar
Automotive history at an uncommonly high level - Car and Driver
Scholarly quality while combining elements of drama, pathos, tragedy and victory at the highest and most engrossing entertainment level - Victory Lane
This book is so well done that every single primary source I know, the guys who were there, recommends it without reservation - Vintage Motorsport
