About this book
In THE LIMIT Michael Cannell tells the enthralling story of Phil Hill-a lowly California mechanic who would become the first American-born driver to win the Grand Prix-and on the fiftieth anniversary of his triumph brings to life a vanished world of glamour valor and daring. With the pacing and vivid description of a novel THE LIMIT charts the journey that brought Hill from dusty California lots racing midget cars into the ranks of a singular breed of men competing with daredevils for glory on Grand Prix tracks across Europe. Facing death at every turn these men rounded circuits at well over 150 mph in an era before seat belts or roll bars-an era when drivers were "crushed burned and beheaded with unnerving regularity.
