From acclaimed journalist Adam Hay-Nicholls, the very first
biography of rising star Charles Leclerc, published to mark the
start of the 2023 Formula One season. Few of the drivers on the F1
grid have the racing pedigree of Charles Leclerc. Widely regarded
as one of the sport's hottest prospects, he was crowned F3 and then
F2 champion in back-to-back seasons before he made his F1 debut
with Sauber in 2018. Now firmly established as Ferrari's great
hope, following in the footsteps of legends Alberto Ascari, Niki
Lauda and Michael Schumacher, Leclerc has his eyes set on becoming
world champion. Born in Monaco to a family of comparatively modest
means, Leclerc remembers playing with toy cars on a friend's
balcony as the best drivers in the world whizzed around the Monte
Carlo circuit on the streets below. This early experience inspired
him to get behind the wheel, encouraged by his father Hervé, and
so began his meteoric rise in the sport. Along the way, he lost his
father, his godfather and his best friend - all racing drivers -
and this gave Leclerc the inner steel to become a winner. Writer
Adam Hay-Nicholls, who has spent much of his career in the Formula
One paddock, provides the inside track on this rising star,
recounting how he has taken the racing world by storm. And as
Leclerc's Ferrari is beginning to fire on all cylinders, will he
beat his old rival and adversary Max Verstappen to the world title?

The Shelf2Life American Civil War Collection is a unique and
exciting collection of pre-1923 titles focusing on the American
Civil War and the people and events surrounding it. From memoirs
and biographies of notable military figures to firsthand accounts
of famous battles and in-depth discussions of slavery, this
collection is a remarkable opportunity for scholars and historians
to rediscover the experience and impact of the Civil War. The
volumes contained in the collection were all written within 60
years of the end of the war, which means that most authors had
living memory of it and were facing the effects of the war while
writing. These firsthand accounts allow the modern reader to more
fully understand the culture of both the Union and Confederacy, the
politics that governed the escalation and end of the war, the
personal experience of life during the Civil War, and the most
difficult and polarizing question in the history of the United
States: slavery. The American Civil War Collection allows new
readers access to the contemporary arguments and accounts
surrounding the war, and is a vital new tool in understanding this
important and pivotal chapter in American history.
This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such
as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.
