My favourite book y imm is A Race Too Far m J s Fro ell’ by Chris Eakin, a orn elf C ksh boo spellbinding tale of immense courage, heroic sacrifice, and profound despair whose painful memories have not been alleviated by the passing of time. The Golden Globe trophy and the considerable prize of £5,000 (about £100,000 in today’s money) was offered to the first person to sail around the globe without stopping. The rules were simple, any type of sailing boat was allowed and participants had to start between 1 June and 31 October 1968. Several partici- pants (and others) have written accounts of this unique race but none conveys better the excite- ment and drama of this modern odyssey than Chris Eakin, who skillfully weaves together the disparate strands of a heart- rending tale of human tragedy and redemption of Homeric dimen- sions.
