David Hill brings to life the extraordinary journey of drivers and their crews as they battled treacherous terrain, brutal weather, and mechanical breakdowns across thousands of miles of uncharted roads, frozen tundra, and open ocean crossings. Written with a propulsive, adventure-driven tone, the account captures the fierce national rivalries and sheer human determination that defined this epic contest. Hill presents the race not merely as a sporting event, but as a defining moment in the early age of the automobile, illustrating how ambition, ingenuity, and endurance pushed both man and machine to their absolute limits. Accessible and fast-paced, it is a gripping read that brings a forgotten chapter of history roaring back to life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820256571611,"sku":"9781761355318-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/daf0acb7-0d61-4a1a-aa0e-f07a4d92c73a.png?v=1780055897","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781761355318-secondhand-the-great-race","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
