Written by Peter Nichols and published by Profile books in 2011; this book tells the extraordinary story of nine yachtsmen who became the competitors in a race to sail around the world non-stop. The race became known as the Golden Globe race.
In June 1968 nine ordinary men set out to attempt to do this - six Englishmen, two Frenchmen and an Italian. Only one of the nine crossed the finishing line after 10 months at sea.
