In the space of 24 hours in July 1908, dramatic events came to a
climax at the first London Olympic Games. The marathon distance of
26 miles 385 yards set at that time has since been accepted
worldwide and this thrilling account of heroism, ambition, and
scandal tells for the first time the story of three remarkable men
whose destinies collided in the battles that overshadowed these
Games. It is a tale that stretches from rural Italy to the
battlefields of the Boer War; from Ellis Island to Broadway and
beyond to explore the foundations of the modern sporting and
marathon movements and celebrate the strength of the human spirit.
