The Race to the Future: 8,000 Miles to Paris - The Adventure That Accelerated the Twentieth Century

by Kassia St. Clair

Book Overview

The racers--an Italian prince and his chauffeur, a French racing driver, a con man, and several rival journalists--battle over steep inclines, through narrow mountain passages, and across the arid Gobi Desert. Competitors endure torrential rain and choking dust. There are barely any roads, and petrol is almost impossible to find. A global audience of millions follows each twist and turn, devouring reports telegraphed from the course.
