From Word of Sport:

At 180mph, as many have realised, it's difficult to get close to Schumi. The multifaceted approach this book employs - using arty photographs, narrative and personal testimony - offers our best chance of understanding the man worthy ofthe moniker: living legend. An insightful portrait of the man not the machine.

From the Publisher:

Since 1994 Michael Schumacher has dominated Grand Prix, winning the FIA World championship in five of the last nine seasons. In 2001 / 2002 he broke almost every motor racing record and is now the most successful Formula One driver of all time.

Now, in the official Schumacher book, we discover for the very first time the real Michael Schumacher - through extensive first person material, as well as a narrative by Sabine Kehm, a journalist, colleague and friend of Schumacher. Fantastic new photographs from renowned European photographer, Michel Comte, give us new insight into the man and his life. For the first time the private man who gives nothing away and the driver who takes no hostages relaxes and opens up. This book will be a real surprise to all fans of Formula One and anyone who's wondered just what goes on behind the superhero's mask.

We learn about Schumacher's past, the secrets of his extraordinary success, his family, his view of other drivers and the state of F1, his opinions on controversial races and drivers, and we are given an insider's view of Ferrari.

At last one of the truly great sporting heroes opens up in an intimate, fantastically photographed book.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars.

With Michael Schumacher having departed the Formula One scene, racing historians can now begin to understand his legacy. Hero or villain? The author attempts to unravel the Schumacher myth through extensive first person material. As a friend, Sabine Kehm, was also allowed fantastic access to the driver who provides candid opinions on races and fellow drivers.
