No sporting event has had its past & present, its highs & lows so intricately entwined with those of a country like the Tour has with France. The Tour de France is the biggest annual sporting event in the world, & at the same time it transcends sport. The Tour de France comes to the people. It passes their houses, it turns right in their village squares, it thunders through their suburban streets & into the hearts of their towns & cities. It is a unique event in that people don't so much go to see the Tour, as it comes to see them. A Race for Madmen traces how the Tour de France has developed & examines tactics, bike technology & rider preparation too. It profiles some of the men who have won the Tour de France, & others who have been key players, looking closely at their lives & motivation. Subsidiary competitions, such as the King of the Mountains prize, are featured, as well as Tour lore & traditions. The book examines the Tour's extraordinary history, & how a bike race, a simple sporting contest captured the imagination of a country, then a continent & then the world, while at the same time it has stayed uniquely French, even though a Frenchman hasn't won it for over 20 years. ...

From medieval Runnymede to twentieth-century Jarrow, from King Alfred to George Orwell, by way of Robin Hood, Wat Tyler & Mary Wollstonecraft, a rich & colourful thread of radicalism, both real & mythic, runs through a thousand years of British history. In this fascinating & vibrant book, Edward Vallance traces a national tendency towards revolution, irreverence & reform wherever it surfaces & in all its variety. Vallance unveils the British yeomen & preachers, millworkers, miners & intellectuals who fought & died for religious freedom, universal suffrage, justice & liberty
- & shows why, now more than ever, their heroic achievements must be recognised & celebrated. Rousing, brilliant & hugely readable, this is a panoramic & invaluable study of a millennium of one nation's free-thinking.
