Yellow Jersey Press Fallen angel - the passion of Fausto Coppi

Coppi book provides excellent insight.

Apart from my very own first book (which incidentally you can still purchase here) , I have to say Will Fotheringham's portayal of Fausto Coppi is the best book I have read this year.

Without going all arty on you, it is a proper insight into Italian life at the end of the war and the struggle of the country to get back on its feet.

Fallen Angel

Rather than just concentrate on the palmares of Italy's greatest cycling hero, greatest sporting hero even, William Fotheringham's new book, Fallen Angel tackles Fausto Coppi's whole life, a life seemingly dogged by tragedy and conflict, from being born into a poor farming family to his premature death from malaria 40 years later to give a broad understanding of the man, the legend, and the myth.
