Summary

Portraying the controversial World Champion James Hunt, this book was put together from responses to the question: what is your strongest memory of him? Hunt was one of the very few people who lived life as he wanted to. Those who knew him and worked with him were free to reminisce rather than restrict themselves to a specific topic.

Memories of James Hunt Summary

Memories of James Hunt by Christopher Hilton

This intimate portrait of controversial World Champion James Hunt - in series with the successful Memories of Ayrton Senna - was put together from responses to the question: what is your strongest memory of him? Hunt - public school hell-raiser, loved and feared broadcaster, an enigma even to his friends - was one of the very few people who lived life as he wanted to. Because those who knew him and worked with him were free to reminisce rather than restrict themselves to a specific topic, all sorts of new and surprising material emerges.
