Sinossi
The complete history of the British and Irish Lions—a collection of the best rugby players culled from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales who take on the rugby greats of the southern hemisphere—is captured in this reference. Four esteemed rugby writers, one from each of the nations that make up the team’s roster, delve into the heart of what it means to be a Lion, interviewing a vast array of former players to uncover the passion, pride, and pageantry experienced when wearing the famous red jersey. It is a tale of heart-break and ecstasy, humor and poignancy, which is at once inspirational, moving, and utterly compelling.
