The Amazing Summer of '55 by Eoin Young
Written by a master story-teller, this nostalgic book recalls motor racing highlights from half a century ago, when the sport was passionate, heroic and highly dangerous. Pivotal moments in that eventufl summer of 1955 include Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson winning the Mille Miglia, Alberto Ascari crashing into the harbour at the Monaco Grand Prix, the spectator catastrophe at Le Mans, and Juan Manuel Fangio's apparent gift of victory to Moss in the British Grand Prix.
Long-time Autocar columnist Eoin Young, author of Jim Clark and his most successful Lotus, is a highly respected Grand Prix journalist. His previous books for Haynes were It Beats Working and Forza Amon! He lives in New Zealand.
