I doubt there will be a better book written about this period in West Indies cricket history -- Clive Lloyd
A perceptive and comprehensive account that more than cricket knows -- Gideon Haigh
Calm and fair, but with pace and bounce, the story of the most feared team cricket has ever seen -- Matthew Engel
As near definitive as you could want...expert and knowledgeable -- Danny Kelly * Observer *
Outstanding.. Lister's book works magnificently not just because he tells a great story with unfussy clarity and journalistic rigour but because - like the best sports books - it is not content to stick to sport.
