Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman

This book is well written and gives an excellent review of racing machines as well as showing some of the lesser known sides of Paul Newman who has contributed so much to America besides his acting ability. Non-racing enthusiasts will enjoy the this book as well as those of us who enjoy and follow racing.

A Winner!

Terrific review and reminiscences of a racing career any racer would admire. A well done victory lap for a man who certainly deserved it.

Winning Book with Winning Subject Matter

Only a couple times a year a well written and edited book on automobile racing comes out. For 2009 "Winning-The Racing Life of Paul Newman" is one of them. It gives a comprehensive overview of his racing life and how it overlapped and interweaved with the other passions of his life-acting, philanthropy, and his family. For the die hard race fan there will be photos and facts not seen before and for the movie fan a side of their favorite actor that previously was known, but not as detailed as it is in this book. It is an excellent read no matter from which direction you are drawn to the topic. Buy it for yourself or as a gift. Neither party will be disappointed.

A blend of sports history and biography perfect for any sports library

Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman is a 'must' for any sports collection strong in automobile racing.

The result is a blend of sports history and biography perfect for any sports library.

Just Finished this book. Great detail and rare photos of his incedible motorsport life. Having seen Mr. Newman race many times at Nelson Ledges, this book rekindled many fond memories. The book is a wonderful tribute to a fine race driver/owner and a great human being.
