Trade ReviewI doubt there will be a better book written about this period in West Indies cricket history -- Clive Lloyd
Outstanding... Lister's book works magnificently not just because he tells a great story with unfussy clarity and journalistic rigour but because - like the best sports books - it is not content to stick to sport.

comprehensive account that more than cricket knows -- Gideon Haigh
