DESCRIPTION:
denni munro said Five Stars. good concise history of one of the most hollowed marques in auto history. Mr. Einstein said For The Racing Enthusiast. I would recommend this book for persons keenly interested in a detailed account of Alfa Romeo's racing history. And I mean detailed. British author Peter Hull is a genuine expert on the subject, his knowledge encyclopedic. Furthermore, there are many terrific, historical photographs included that are probably worth the price of the book alone. If you are looking to learn something of Alfa's p. Mostly pre-war racing Very good coverage of the pre-war racing efforts, not so good when it comes to road cars and the post-war era. Only monochrome photographs, and not many of them.
Ballantine could not have selected a better author than Peter Hull - one of the best Alfa historians. As comprehensive and detailed as can be packed into a book this size, covering Alfa's magnificent history up to the date of publication. Includes many photos from and references to Alfa Romeo's racing history. Written as a condensed version of his more complete history book.
