From Word of Sport:
A half-century of Grand Prix thrills and spills are brought to life in this fascinating account. Alan Henry's informed text is illustated with hundreds of vivid action photographs taken from the pages of Autosport. Together they provide a stunning record of a scintillating sport.
From the Publisher:
Tracing the history of Grand Prix racing since the inaugural race was first held on a wartime airfield at Silverstone in 1950, this book examines how motor racing has evolved in spectacular fashion, developing from a minority sport followed by a dedicated few into the worldwide spectacle it is now. Although the book is broadly chronological, it does not describe every race ever run since the creation of the FIA Driver's World Championship, instead it captures the flavour of each period and identifies the trends and technical developments that characterise it. The history also includes a detailed results section.
