What is Redgrave really like to be with? Why was Foster the only one who seemed to smile during the BBC's fly-on-the-wall "Tales of Gold" documentary? How was it that the British eight's gold medal depended on a man given only a few months to live in March 1997? This book answers all these questions, through a story that begins many years ago.
