This is a compelling & moving sports drama played out in the bloody arena of highly dangerous Grand Prix motor racing of the fifties. It is a real-life story that matches the excitement & suspense of the very best fiction. It is definitely a must-read for all motor racing fans. This story is arguably the most compelling & moving sports drama of all time. It matters because it is a testament to the eternal values of friendship honesty of purpose & self sacrifice. It is played out in the bloody arena of highly dangerous Grand Prix motor racing of the fifties an age in which the drivers were still amateurs & the sport controllers & team owners as yet untainted by the corruption of big money. It is as inspiring as it is tragic. In 1976 I was commissioned by BBC TV to write a film about Mike Hawthorn the first British world motor racing champion. It was never made. The reason? The facts of his life & death were then unclear. Had I known what they were it would have catapulted the drama into the bracket of classical tragedy. Despite research I found myself faced with a well kept secret. During the following thirty five years I kept returning to it but still failed to penetrate that mystery. Until now. This true story is driven by suspense as the hero is faced with a dreadful dilemma. Rarely does a real life story as that of Mike Hawthorn match the best of fiction. ONE GLORIOUS HOUR does just that. Set in 1958 he is one of the four man Ferrari motor racing team in Grand Prix. & he is favourite to become Britain's first world motor racing champion. & he is dying. ...

Beast. Monster. Savage. Psycho. The glowering menace of Mike Tyson has spooked us for almost two decades. & still we remain fascinated. Why? Ellis Cashmorea s answer is disturbing: white society has created Tyson as vengeance for the loss of privilege produced by civil rights. Cashmorea s eviscerating analysis of Tysona s life & the culture in which he grew up rose to prominence & descended into disgrace provokes the reader into re--thinking the role of one of the most controversial & infamous figures of recent history. Told as an odyssey--style homeward journey to Tysona s multi--pathological origins in the racially--explosive ghettos of the 1960s Tysona s story is part biography part tragedy & part exposition. His associations with people like Al Sharpton Don King & Tupac Shakur shaped his life; & events such as the O J Simpson trial & the Rodney King riots formed a turbulent background for the Tyson psychodrama. Over the course of an epic boxing career Tyson was transformed from the most celebrated athlete on earth to a primal malevolent hate--figure. Yet even after being condemned as a brute Tyson retained a power -- a power to captivate. Cashmore reveals that the sources of that power lie as much in us as in Tyson himself. ...
