As near definitive as you could want...expert and knowledgeable -- Danny Kelly * Observer * Calm and fair, but with pace and bounce, the story of the most feared team cricket has ever seen -- Matthew Engel A perceptive and comprehensive account that more than cricket knows -- Gideon Haigh Outstanding... Lister's book works magnificently not just because he tells a great story with unfussy clarity and journalistic rigour but because - like the best sports books - it is not content to stick to sport. -- Richard Whitehead * The Times * I doubt there will be a better book written about this period in West Indies cricket history -- Clive Lloyd

Author Information

Simon Lister is a cricket writer and senior BBC news producer. His first book, Supercat - the authorised biography of Clive Lloyd - was short-listed for the British Sports Book of the Year award. It was, said the Guardian, 'beautifully written'. He has been a contributor to the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack and has covered the county game for the Sunday Telegraph. For ten years, his magazine column, Eyewitness, appeared in The Wisden Cricketer and its successor The Cricketer.
