 JAMES HUNT
The Biography
by Gerald Donaldson

"The whole point was that I was basically getting along with my
  life in my own way and I didn't really care what anyone thought.
  I said to myself: 'Stuff it. I'll do it my way.'"
- James Hunt

"A total non-comformist who was a curious mixture of wit,
 intelligence and unparalleled stubborness...He was definitely no
 saint. Whatever else he might have been James was not boring."
- Stirling Moss

"I was just devastated by the news of his death...For me he was
 the most charismatic personality who's ever been in Formula 1."
- Niki Lauda



Some HUNT reviews...

'Gerald Donaldson's acclaimed James Hunt book perfectly captures
the decadence, and latterly, depression that bookended the '76
world champion's life. Expertly researched and intimately
presented, it's a benchmark racing biog on any fan's must-read
list.'
- autosport.com

'It is, quite simply, the best biography of a racing driver I've
 ever read...a well-balanced, well-written, emotionally charged
 story...A great - and an accurate - work that reveals the    
 inner man, it will make you laugh and cry.'
 - Classic Cars

'It plumbs James Hunt with unwavering focus...The warts are  
exposed fully but they are accompanied by deep insights into  
what made Hunt tick.'
- Toronto Star

'Donaldson, in this thoughtful and intimate work, has  
delved behind the headlines and fleshed out the character    
behind the caricatures of James Hunt.'
- Daily Telegraph

'It's an epic...in-depth research and a flowing style...The  
 definitive Hunt biography.'
  - Autosport

'It will come as no surprise to anyone who has read Donaldson's
brilliant book on Gilles Villeneuve, which set a new standard
in driver biographies, to learn that he has performed an      
equally accomplished job in producing this definitive new book
on Hunt...A meticulously crafted piece of writing...This is a
book that deserves to be read.'
- Motoring News

'Donaldson's greatest gift is his appraisal of character, which
 is no mean feat in the case of Hunt...Donaldson has succeeded,
 warts and all.'
- Performance Racing News

'Donaldson's biography has a compelling edge because his      
 subject was a man of acute, and almost inexplicable,        
 contrasts...The book doesn't baulk at the less savoury side of
 Hunt and, more to the point, makes a compelling read.
