Reviews

PETER SNELL: "Vern Walker has a writing style unlike any author in his field. His ability to capture the essence of track races, which are vividly described, combined with a flair for statistical detail, makes this book compelling reading." MURRAY HALBERG: "A brilliant and highly descriptive account of the many thrilling races of the great era. The author colourfully describes the fear of defeat and the joy of victory." BILL BAILLIE: "Only an athlete who competed throughout the decade (1956-1965), as the author did, could write such a very readable account."
