Your Best Days Are Still Ahead: Moving Beyond Yesterday's Pain

This book is for anyone that likes Steve McQueen, vintage sports car racing, or the movie Le Mans. Of course there's everything there is to know about the movie itself, but there's also a Steve McQueen bio, a history of that era's race cars, AND a history of the Le Mans race too!

Both authors are very qualified to write about the race as they have participated as drivers... Read Full Review

Keyser and Jonathan Williams have assembled a wonderful collection of over 700 photographs that blend nicely with the text to provide a detailed account of the events leading up to making the Le Mans film...with many behind the scenes photos which have never, heretofore, been published...
