LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
SHORTLISTED FOR THE CROSS SPORTS BOOK AWARDS BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR
The definitive biography of one of the greatest, most extraordinary
runners and Olympic heroes of all time, from the author of running
classic Feet in the Clouds. Emil Zatopek won five Olympic medals,
set 18 world records, and went undefeated over 10,000 metres for
six years. He redefined the boundaries of endurance, training in
Army boots, in snow, in sand, in darkness. But his toughness was
matched by a spirit of friendship and a joie de vivre that
transcended the darkest days of the Cold War. His triumphs put his
country on the map, yet when Soviet tanks moved in to crush
Czechoslovakia's new freedoms in 1968, Zatopek paid a heavy
personal price for his brave defence of 'socialism with a human
face'. Rehabilitated two decades later, he was a shadow of the man
he had been - and the world had all but forgotten him. Today We Die
A Little strips away the myths to tell the complex and deeply
moving story of the most inspiring Olympic hero of them all.
