A dramatic look at Peter Brock's life - in particular the period which fashioned his character, created the legend and made him a household name in Australia - as told by people who knew him from the start.
Brock’s early life has never been accurately documented. Writer, Colin Fulton, with help from the Brock family and many people who knew Peter in his early days have chronicled the racer's early life from his childhood to his first Bathurst victory in 1972.
This book reveals little known facts about his life in the army, first marriage and the famous A30 racer. All the central figures are here: his brothers and key family members, Harry Firth, Ian Tate, Colin Bond; and the man who actually instigated the Holden Dealer Team, Peter Lewis-Williams, childhood and school friends, plus many more.
Both photographer, Terry Russell, and writer, Colin Fulton, knew Peter in his youth and their work reveals much about his childhood and teenage years.
Colin Fulton was a journalist and as a racing driver and long time friend of Peter Brock has used his knowledge to write a vivid and accurate portrayal of this unique Australian legend's Road to Glory. Most of Terry Russell's photographs are published here for the first time.
