Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Best book ever on Enzo Ferrari.

[Doug & Terri (dnt]

Yup - yer correct there Francis.  As I said - a very "Brock Yates" book.  What 
would you expect from a guy who pushed the "Cannon Ball Baker Sea to Shining 
Sea" race (see "Sunday Driver") and disguised one of his blasto runs sea to sea 
as an ambulance?  The shame of it all.
BUWHAhahahahahahahah
Onward

With respect Doug, Brock’s book is very fanciful with a load of complete 
inaccuracies including right at the beginning of the book the circumstances 
surrounding Enzo’s death.

It's a good read but not an historical exactitude.
