"Five Stars" according to denni munro. 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 production cars in this volume, forget it, there's not much there. Furthermore, the book ends in 1970 with the introd. 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.
