Notă biografică
Mark Whitaker is a broadcaster and historian. After a first career as an academic, during which he taught in both London and Tunis, he joined the BBC in 1990. He was a reporter for BBC2's sports documentary series On the Line, and from 1994 to 2002 was a regular presenter of File on 4 on Radio 4. He then became a founding partner of the independent production company Square Dog Radio, which is named after a beloved Bernese Mountain dog. To his great regret he recently had to give up playing cricket. He lives in the West Yorkshire hills with his family and their animals.
Recenzii
"A poignant account of unrecognised achievement" -- Bryon Rogers Spectator "Well-researched and entertaining... Whitaker's real achievement is to resurrect for recognition the careers of two genuine British sporting heroes" Times Literary Supplement "Remarkable" New Statesman "A timely reminder of the best that the sport can achieve" The Sunday Times "Astonishing" Reader's Digest
"These men were monumentally strong. They were not just sporting heroes but heroes in terms of human endeavour" -- Peter Radford "A timely reminder of the best that the sport can achieve" The Sunday Times "Whitaker paints a compelling picture of a world in which the virtues of old-fashioned professionalism and decency overcome class and race barriers... engaging, surprising and...affecting" -- Alexander Larman Observer "Remarkable" New Statesman

Whitaker's diligent research adds depth and colour to the story, through the prism of Newton's friendship with Gavuzzi. The two men may never reach the fame of the Greek soldier Pheidippides, the original marathon runner, but they may now achieve the recognition their feats deserve." Sunday Times
