From Word of Sport:
New Zealand's social history is laced to the marauding victories of the All (conquering) Blacks - Ron Palenski's book tells of this special relationship between country and team, imaginatively and rigorously celebrating a century of history. Spectacularly centennial - a proud record of a singular team.
From the Publisher:
Century in Black is a celebration and a commemoration of 100 years of the All Blacks playing test matches. No other international team has had such success. From the first test in Sydney in 1903 to the most recent, Ron Palenski traces the highs and lows, the years of triumph and the personalities who contribute toward test rugby, New Zealand’s most enduring prime entertainment.
From personal interviews with some of the leading figures, Palenski will bring new slants to tests won and lost. Statistics have always been a key element in the chronicling of test rugby and the book features the most complete All Black test statistics ever produced.
