Synopsis
This volume tells the story of the formative years of one of the greatest racing drivers of all time.
It covers Moss' meteoric rise through the junior ranks with the little 500s, his big break with a borrowed XK120, and the highs and lows with HWM when he took on the best in their more powerful Ferraris and shook the big names. Also discussed are the great drives and successes with Jaguar in the TT and at Le Mans, missing a Monte Carlo Rally win in the first attempt by mere seconds, and the frustrating years when he put patriotism first and soldiered on with inadequate machinery. Finally, in 1954 it all came right on the international stage.
