Stirling Moss – The Definitive Biography

Stirling Moss – The Definitive Biography

Stirling Moss is one of the greatest sportsman of all time. He was successful in all forms of motor sport but most particularly in Grand Prix racing. The ‘Beckham of his era’, Moss not only dominated the back pages of the newspapers but regularly made the front pages with his glamorous, jet-setting lifestyle in the ’50s. He raced hard; he played hard. He was the James Bond of motorsport.

Here, at last, is a serious biography worthy of the great man, a sporting icon who was a hero to many a schoolboy. One such was author, Philip Porter. Debunking myths, correcting many mistakes and adding much new information, including previously unrecorded races. Therefore this is probably the most deeply researched motoring biography ever written.

This book is also no dry account. It is spiced with humour, tragedy and period flavour with liberal doses of quotes from Moss himself. And not to forget his contemporaries, many of whom Porter has interviewed over the years.

Therefore this definitive biography is the ultimate work on arguably the greatest all-round driver the world.
