Product Description
Not For Glory, Not For Gold is about the battle to beat the four minute mile back in the 1950s. Three men, all considered the best “milers” in the world, were the focus of this book. There was Roger Bannister, an Englishmen studying to be a doctor while competing at an international level; Wes Santee, an American runner who had suceeded at having an international athletics career despite restrictions from the American athletics officials; and John Landy, the Aussie who was studying agriculture while training. We do get alternate POVs, such as various coaches, parents, and other competitors, but Landy, Santee, and Barrister are the main protagonists
