Description

Massive and impressively detailed biography with around 1000 photos (including 250 colour).

Besides being Britain’s first World Champion driver, John Michael Hawthorn was one of its most talented and colourful sportsmen ever. This large, truly comprehensive book, as well as recording Hawthorn’s racing career, goes further than any previous publication in looking at his childhood, family and friends and using the recollections of those who knew and worked with him to provide a fully rounded portrait of the man.

Completing the work are more than 1,000 photos, paintings and specially commissioned illustrations. By any criteria, this is a book of the highest merit.

2008 first edition large format hardback in mint condition, in original packaging.
