A riveting account of the 1968 Sunday Times Golden Gobe Round the World Yacht Race, when nine competitors strove to be the first man to sail non-stop singlehanded around the world. They were of course an immortal band, whose names now are embedded in the history of sailing. John Ridgway, Chay Blyth, Robin Knox-Johnston, Bernard Moitessier, Loick Fougeron, Bill King, Nigel Tetley, Alex Carozzo, and Donald Crowhurst. Only one man cossed the finishing line - the rest encountered despair, sublimity, madness and death. B/w photos. PB. 298pp.
