An excellent read for those interested in a period when racing cars were just that.
When it came out this book did not received rave reviews, in fact it was muted. How wrong they were. This is an excellent portrayal of the life of one of our best young racing drivers, and not just about his cars.Read full review

Excellent book
A most enjoyable book. There must have been a huge amount of research.
At times he goes into so much detail that you doubt if it is really true eg she came downstairs to find the letter but this is forgivable in the interests of keeping the story readable. Read full review

A Great Read
An excellent read, much better than the only other book by this author that I have read. It covers several aspects of interest to m - motor racing, the social history of the moneyed classes in the first half of the 20th century, and the prelude to World War II. Seaman married a German woman, having joined the Mercedes team, but was killed in a crash at Spa three months before war broke out. Although it sounded like he remained a patriotic Englishman, the declaration of hostilities would have undoubtedly put him in a dilemma and it would have been interesting to find out how things would have panned out, had he lived.Read full review
