The definitive year by year history of the epic round-Italy event as recalled by an author who was himself a fine race driver and a class winner on the event in the 1930s. Excellent photos, many not previously or since seen. A race for hero's won by many of the true giants of the sport - only twice by non Italians (pre war by Caracciola and postwar by Stirling Moss, both times in Mercedes) which finally ended with a tragic accident in 1957 that claimed almost a dozen lives. .The book and its jacket are both in very good condition with some discolouration on spine.
