"A fascinating account of formula 1 and, to some extent, sports car racing covering the period of post WWI to mid-1950. Alfred Neubauer was the team manager for Mercedes for most of this period. In an easy-to-read and fast moving narrative, he tells of his own foray as a driver, then transitioning to team manager. He was closely associated with almost every great European driver during this period. Nuvolari, Caracciola, Lang, Seaman, Rosemeyer, Fangio and Moss are all covered, as is Mercedes' involvement with the disastrous 1955 Le Mans race."
