After some years with Coopersand a year with Brabham he joined Lotus in 1969to gain victory for them in 1970.With his rebellious temperament and love of the high lifehe became hero-worshipped by the crowdsand his presence gave motor racing a panache and excitement it had lacked for some years. <br />Jochen Rindt had begun work on this book with Heinz Pruller some time before his deathand after the tragedy it was complete with the help and support of Nina RindtJochen's beautiful Finnish wifewho writes of it 'I am sure this book will be the most true story about Jochen and his life.'<br />Heinz Prullerthe author of this book was a close friend of Jochen and they had actually started work on it before the tragic death of Jochen at Monza.<br />Heinz Pruller is a well-known motor-racing journalist and radio and television commentatorboth in his native Austria and on the international motor-racing scene.<br />Book is out-of-printas publisher ceased trading in the 1980's.<br />William Kimber himselfworked for Hutchinson for about 17 years before founding "William Kimber & Co" in 1950.It specialized in aviation war memoirs autobiographies and motor-racing titles until 1973 when "Haunted Cornwall" took off and the Ghost Stories became another specialty.The company was bought by Thorsons in 1988and therefore ceased publishing under that name.<br />William Kimber was purchased by Thorsons in 1988 and therefore ceased publishing under that name.Thorsons was purchased by William Collins in 1989.William Collins became wholly owned by News Corporation in 1990and was then incorporated into HarperCollins Publishers.The name of William Kimber has not been used for publishing since thatmaking all previously published titles by them out-of-printunder that name.<br />Please contact sellerfor correct shipping/Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page! <br />N.B.
