Go Like Hell

Fantastic book. Should be on the reading list for every racing fan!

Corporate fight and politics with a sprinkle of sexiness of motorsport, presented exquisitely. The 60-70 decade of racing will have you captured

This book is well written and worth the time. Though some pages of the book that was delivered to me were a bit wet-ish.

a book which tells a story full of victories, lost races, heartbreaks, and regrets. A very good history lesson indeed

What a book!!!!!! My son is a car lover and avid reader Didnt stop reading until he finished Thanx Amazon💖

Must buy...

Very well written book, great story about the war which changed automotive industry. Covers all the sides of story, little different than other books.

génial pour l'Histoire, génial pour la profondeur des enquêtes. un grand récit et une belle matière pour l'excellent film de Mangold.

Good service 👍

A.J. Baime has written a fascinating and involving book about European race car life in the 1960's, some might offer the Golden Age of the sport, driven by the competition between Ford and Ferrari. AJB is a very solid writer and his prose is compelling and his research deep. In particular he delves into the two personalities that drove (no pun intended) the competition: Henry Ford the second, grandson of The Henry Ford and Ferrari himself, the creator of the most dynamic of European sports cars then and now. The story is more than just theirs, it is heavily shaped by many others ranging from the steel-nerved drivers of the day to the cadre of engineers and builders of the cars. Some of the characters are well fleshed out and re-occur throughout the story, such as Carrol Shelby. There are a few times when the mob of car designers, builders and racing stalwarts can get a little confusing. In addition there were some of the races that AJB glossed over. A few of the races in which he dug into were some of the more exciting passages of the book. I certainly understand why he didn't want to write hundreds of pages regurgitating car positions etc. but a few of the races he didn't explore other than share the results. It seemed the book was just a little lighter in this area than it should have been. With that flaw aside, it is a well written book and brings to life a time of sport and dynamic competition that I found fascinating. My guess is that you will find it invigorating as well.

I loved this book. The author has turned the real life events of this Golden Age of motor racing into an engrossing narrative. The characters are so large, so full of life and that comes straight through the pages. The description of the many races is vivid, you can almost hear the mighty V-12s of Ferrari, the Monster V8s of the Cobras and GT40. If you have even a slight interest in Motorsport or cars or how great personalities have shaped the automotive world we know today...get this book.

Interesante historia sobre la gran rivalidad entre Ford y Ferrari, quizá la de mayor relevancia a nivel mundial en el deporte motor.
