The Power and the Glory
Jonathan Wilson
There has never been a comprehensive history of the World Cup that has considered not only the matches and goals, the players and coaches, the tales of scandal and genius, the haggling and skulduggery of the bidding process, but has also placed the tournaments within a socio-political framework.
The story of the World Cup is also the story of the world; this book tells its definitive history.
"Epic in scope, awesomely rich in detail, and compulsively entertaining." ~ TOM HOLLAND

Driven
Susie Wolff
From the moment her parents first sat her in a go-kart, Susie Wolff felt it - the thrill of speed, the spark of something bigger. A little girl who dared to dream to one day race in Formula One.
As Susie rose through the ranks of motorsport, one truth became impossible to ignore: she was almost always the only woman on the grid. And yet she held onto the unshakeable belief that instinct and resilience could carve a path through a world not designed for her. So when her racing chapter ended, she turned her mind to first transforming a struggling Formula E team and, later, leading F1 Academy, inspiring young women to enter the sport she loves.
Told with clarity and grace, this is the inspirational story of a woman determined not just to compete - but to redefine the race.
