'Eric Liddell deserves a definitive biography. This is it.' Sunday
Times, Books of the Year Faster. Higher. Stronger. No one has
embodied the ideals of the Olympic movement quite like Eric
Liddell, star of the Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire. After
refusing to compete on religious principle in the event in which he
was favourite, the 100 metres, at the 1924 Games in Paris, Liddell
won an astonishing gold medal in the 400 metres. But instead of
pursuing a path of global fame and fortune, he chose to follow his
calling as a missionary in the country of his birth, China, a land
which then fell under the iron grip of a brutal Japanese army.
Liddell became the inspirational leader of the work camp in which
he, like many thousands, was interned, and For the Glory is the
full story of his life, of his family, of his fellow prisoners and
the terrible hardships and atrocities they experienced in the Far
East. This is the tale of a sporting icon, a man of honour and
principle who paid the ultimate sacrifice while becoming the moral
centre of an otherwise unbearable world.
