About the book
This is the extraordinary true story of an unlikely American crew who took on Europe's aristocratic bobsleigh teams in a dangerous race down a treacherous mountain track of solid ice.

Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, he brings to life an era of Jazz Age excess, sporting heroism, and the characters who pushed themselves to the very edge. It's a gripping tale of courage, competition, and the relentless human drive to go faster than ever before.
