Description: Originally published in hardback in 1999, this great book examines the life of actor Steve McQueen, the films in which he appeared and his love affair with the many cars & bikes he owned during his lifetime. It details the history of the famous 24 hours race and the background of the major players in the 1970 Sportscar Championship season, including Alfa Romeo, Porsche, Ferrari & Matra. A major portion of the book gives a detailed behind the scenes account of the making of the movie Le Mans from start to finish with entertaining stories from some of the key players involved in the making of the movie. Highly recommended!
