James Hunt: The Biography

by Gerald Donaldson (Author), Gerald Donaldson (Author)

Synopsis

JAMES HUNT WAS A TOWERING PERSONALITY WITH A COMMANDING PRESENCE, A HUGELY GLAMOROUS PUBLIC FIGURE WHO BROUGHT FORMULA ONE MOTOR RACING TO THE ATTENTION OF A WHOLE NEW AUDIENCE. His story is an epic tale of a short but turbulent life lived to the limit. Triumphing against all odds to become World Drivers' Champion with McLaren in 1976, Hunt sank into a period of decadence and depression ...only to be rejuventated as he found true love for the first time. With that came personal contentment and a renewed zest for living, so that one of the most colourful and controversial figures in Grand Prix racing is best remembered by those close to him as a fun-loving, caring man who had a genuinely uplifting presence - qualities that shine through in Gerald Donaldson's compelling and moving account of his life.
