Mario Andretti – A Driving Passion
By Gordon Kirby

With this unprecedented level of success, it seems remarkable that it has taken this long for someone to come up with a truly comprehensive and insightful look at Marioโs life and career. But this is exactly what author Gordon Kirby has done, weaving Marioโs life story together with interviews, not only from the man himself, but also the family, friends, drivers and teams that helped him along the way.
In addition to the beautiful, large format design of this 250-page book, one of the more satisfying aspects of โMario Andretti: A Driving Passionโ is the depth to which it goes into Marioโs background and personal life to explain his racing accomplishments. From growing up under the terror and oppression of Nazi rule during World War II, to the incredible stress that a full-time career as a racing driver can have on a young family, Kirby does an excellent job of setting the psychological stage from which Mario has lived his remarkable life.
With excellent color photos and memorabilia from Marioโs personal collection on every page, this book is a must-have and a great value at $29.95 (soft cover), $49.95 (hardcover) or $149.95 for a special Publisherโs Edition that includes 48 extra pages of personal photos and memorabilia. Available directly from David Bull Publishing at (800) 831-1758.
