The Lions Raw by Martin Johnson

Written off even before they had begun their 1997 tour of South Africa, Martin Johnson's British Lions managed to gain a 2-1 series win against the World Champions. Under the captaincy of the Leicester and England lock, the first professional Lions tourists came out on top. Johnson's personal account of those seven weeks reveals the secrets behind the Lions' success, from the moment he was asked to lead the tour, to the night in Durban as the series was clinched and the triumphant home-coming. He discusses all the personalities, pressures and the pleasures of leading such a successful Lions tour.
