The Bookworm Critique
Reviewing "Vanwall: Green For Glory" By Ed McDonough. Published by Crowood.
Vanwall, to me, is kind of like the motorsport equivalent of the Gauls. I know that they are historically important, but prior to reading this book I couldn't have given you more than a very general rundown of why.
Gauls, as far as I know, hung out in western Europe (mainly France) for a few centuries before the Christian era and amused themselves by making life difficult for the Romans. Eventually, the Romans got sick of this and steamrolled them. Asterix and Obelix were Gauls. Beyond that, I can't tell you much without cheating and looking them up on Google.
