Another great history from Julie Fenster.

A much underrated event in automotive history from the most underrated popular historian today. I recommend not only this book but all of her books, especially the one on Lincoln's career as a lawyer.

The book sets the race in the context of its time. It is well written. It clearly describes the difficulties encountered. Even though I knew the outcome of the race before reading the book, I couldn't put the book down because I kept wanting to know what happened next. I feel well-educated by this book and will seek out the author's other automotive writings.
