In the name of glory \u2013 1976
\nThe greatest ever sporting duel
\nTom Rubython<\/strong><\/p>\n

The greatest ever sporting duel? That\u2019s debatable, but James Hunt and Niki Lauda\u2019s fight for the 1976 World Championship definitely didn\u2019t lack in drama, what with the Austrian\u2019s near-fatal crash at the N\u00fcrburgring and the rain-soaked title decider at Mount Fuji.<\/p>\n

Rubython\u2019s is an entertaining and sensational tale \u2013 not hard when Hunt is one of your lead characters \u2013 which flows along merrily. It\u2019s well timed too, with shooting on the new Ron Howard film depicting the Hunt-Lauda battle due to continue in February.<\/p>\n

John Watson provides a very nice foreword and Rainer Schlegelmilch\u2019s photo selection is well up to the job. Note to the author though: it\u2019s Jacky Ickx, not Jackie! Overall this is a lively read with broad appeal, and fans of Rubython\u2019s previous tomes will no doubt be well satisfied.<\/p>\n
