Publisher's Summary
They said it could never be done. No human could ever run a mile in less than four minutes. In 1952, three amazing athletes begged to differ; English medical student Roger Bannister, Australian privileged son John Landy, and American farm boy Wes Santee. At a time when war raged in Korea and Edmund Hillary dared to scale Mount Everest, these three marvelous runners raced into the spotlight and stole the attention of a breathless world.
Dramatic, exciting, and gloriously reminiscent, The Perfect Mile is an endlessly fascinating tale of heroic achievement and a testament to the determination of the human spirit.

Bannister, Santee, & Landy.
What a great book on running. What happens on the day of competition is only a minuscule part of the larger canvas of life, the challenges it throws and the indomitable human spirit to conquer it all.
A must read/listen for every athlete and sports enthusiasts alike. Simply, a great book on great athletes and their achievement of running a sub four minute mile.
Thanks.
