It describes the post-war tours and profiles of many of the great players and strong men of the time, who tell of their feeling of fulfilment, and of the pride and the passion every British or Irish player feels on being selected as a British Lion. This celebratory volume, provides access into the workings and preparations behind every Lions tour since 1920, and includes details of the victorious 1997 tour of South Africa.
