    Treat yourself - read it
  

*by N***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2019*

This is a book of parts – a history of a cycle race held in 1919, quick recaps of WW1 battles, snippets of cycling history with glimpses of the people and iconic hills and roads in cycling races that mean so much to racers, as well disturbing descriptions of what the war left behind when the fighting stopped, a tour of quiet and reflective war grave cemeteries, and, finally, but by no means least, the author’s own retracing of the route. All these parts meld together beautifully to give a funny, informative and fascinating look at a forgotten piece of sports history, as well as provide a reader with a wealth of information about WW1, its aftermath, the destruction it wrought, the sport of cycling and one man’s desire to do right by those original riders of the race (who were quite possibly wildly insane but certainly over-medicated), in spite of what could only have been a demonically-possessed sat-nav. It is, in turns, shocking, eye-opening, bizarre, hilarious, captivating, sad, interesting, incredible and tragic. It is unlike anything I have read before – it is, quite simply, a gem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Superb. Moving. Beautifully written
  

*by A***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2022*

Wanted to give this 8 stars. Not only for the extraordinary parallel stories of the race itself and Isitt's personal journey but for depth of historical research and education the author gives without drowning us in facts and figures. Isitt writes in a conversational, warm and totally engaging way which is a perfect vehicle to capture those awful years. I was left wanting to visit those places described that I had no idea still existed, book in hand. Absolutely inspirational.
