My choise: 3 best sports books
3 - The Death of Ayrton Senna
Richard Williams
Plenty has been written and said about Ayrton Senna. The documentary film made about the Brazilian was an astonishing success, even if in the view of some it was too one-sided a portrait. Williams' portrayal is far more balanced. It is a compelling biography which spends the final third of the book specifically on Senna's death, and the ensuing manslaughter trial.
My choise: 3 best sports books
2 -The Art of Captaincy
Mike Brearley
Precisely what you would hope for from the author, England’s most cerebral and considerate captain. Brearley is incisive on tactics but his measured, insightful appraisal of character and how the best captains harness disparate individuals with contrasting impulses is fascinating. Brearley concedes, that having Ian Botham, Geoffrey Boycott, David Gower and Bob Willis to call on is an enormous advantage but how he motivated a crushed cavalier, a monomaniac, an insouciant nonconformist and a diffident destroyer is the crux of the book. The lessons it imparts have been mined and adapted to myriad occupations but as Rodney Hogg put it, Brearley’s ‘degree in people’ is easier to read about than learn.
My choise: 3 best sports books
1 - King of the World by New Yorker editor David Remnick manages to tell the story both of Muhammad Ali and America in the Sixties through classic reportage. Ali's conversion to Islam is interwoven with his country's wider political turmoil in the forensic prose of America's finest journalist.
