TO HELL AND BACK: NIKI LAUDA AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY (PB)

Even people who know nothing of Formula One have heard of Niki Lauda’s crash at Nürburgring in 1976 where he was dragged from the inferno of his Ferrari so badly injured, he was given the last rites. Within 33 days, he was racing again at Monza. A year later, he reclaimed his World Championship title. In this book, he reveals how he battled fear to stage a comeback that seemed beyond human endurance and looks back on the strict childhood and parental disapproval that he believes gave him an ‘addiction to excellence’.
