Description - Roger Bannister and the Four-Minute Mile by John Bale
Focusing on Bannisters life as a runner, its context and his engagement with running, the book also looks at what preceded these events and what followed them. It explains the evolution of the world mile record, how these records were achieved and why Bannisters achievement was perceived much more than breaking a record. It also looks at the aftermath of 6 May and whether Roger Bannister was in or out of place in the world of modern sports. Another value of this book is that it includes both praises and criticism of Bannisters achievements through global perceptions as well as those of the British public.
