Days Like These is a romantic, colourful & heartfelt book by a writer whose pulse beats faster than most to the intoxicating rhythms of the racetrack. A personal & autobiographical account of one man's passionate love affair with horse racing & betting, it chronicles the origins & consequences of his obsession with the sport & his addiction to gambling, through good times & bad. By interweaving dramatic racing moments with key episodes from his own experiences, Reid shows how a love of 'the turf' can transform & intensify everyday life. The book celebrates some of the great racing personalities of the last 40 years
- from Sir Peter O' Sullevan & Lester Piggott to Jonjo O' Neill & Captain Ryan Price
- & focuses on some of the most legendary horses, including Arkle & Dawn Run. Beginning with a nail-biting account of a high-stakes gamble at the 2002 Cheltenham Festival & concluding with the jubilation of a 10-1 ante-post triumph at the following year's meeting, Reid evokes the people, the faces, the reek of fast food, & the potent adrenalin-charged atmosphere of the track. As well as being a vivid portrayal of horse-racing life, this is a book about fathers & sons, grandmothers & grandsons, & the sometimes painful path from childhood to adulthood. There is a memorable portrait of Reid's eccentric gambling-mad grandmother & a graphic description of the stifling horrors of conventional schooling & small town life in late '50s & early '60s Engl&, from which Reid escaped through horse racing. At times humorous, at times moving, Days Like These is destined to become a modern horse-racing classic in its own right.

During the War of Independence Frank Gallagher was interned in Mountjoy where he took part in a mass hunger-strike of republican prisoners demanding political status. Gallagher's remarkable diary reveals his internal conflict during the hunger strike in April 1920. He describes a 'double personality', one half bent on self-preservation & the other on sacrifice. On the tenth day, he almost surrendered, but what kept him resolute was shame before his fellow hunger strikers. ' If there were an honorable way of escape, I should be glad...I'm afraid to die, & I'm going to die because I'm afraid not to... The papers will call me a hero & a martyr...a miserable, frightened fool, who hadn't the courage not to die.' ...

Such events are the subject of Days that Changed the World. Some of the 50 days described here mark the end of an era; others the start of something new Many are the dates of bloody battles or murders; of momentous decisions or breathtaking discoveries. All are remembered as powerful symbols of their time, whose legacy continues to reverberate around the world. The book begins almost 2, 500 years ago, on 28 September 480 BC, when the Athenian navy destroyed the Persian invasion fleet in the Bay of Salamis. Had the Persians won, we might never have heard the names of Plato, Aristotle or Alexander, nor recognize the word democracy. Taking in the assassination of Julius Caesar, the fall of Constantinople, the first day of the Somme, Nelson Mandela's release from prison & concluding with 11 September 2001 & the destruction of New York's Twin Towers, Days that Changed the World is a unique & fascinating way to tell the story of world history. ...
