Review by Pete Vack
Michael Argetsinger has written a remarkable and fitting tribute to one of America’s greatest race drivers. That it has already won several awards including the prestigious International Automotive Media Award for the Best Book of 2009 is to be expected; Agetsinger’s previous work, Walt Hansgen: His Life and the History of Post War American Road Racing was similarly praised and feted in 2006 (read review).
Let there be no doubt that this is a significant book fully worthy of the IAM Awards. [Read more…] about Book Review: Mark Donohue by Michael Argetsinger
