The Giro d` Italia is the cooler, tougher brother of the Tour de France. First staged in 1909, & only pausing for two World Wars, its hundredth edition takes place in 2017. Inspired by L` Auto`s enhanced circulation figures after establishing France`s Grand Tour, the Gazzetta dello Sport saw an opportunity to outdo its rival paper, the Corriere della Sera, by organising its own race. From its first years the Giro pushed riders to their limits with brutal climbs, treacherous road conditions, appalling weather & epic distances. Time has changed the Giro to a degree, but it remains as ferociously testing
- & as beloved of cycling`s romantics
- as ever. All the winners are covered: from the first victors Luigi Ganna & Carlo Galetti, to the likes of Alfredo Binda, Costante Girardengo & Gino Bartali, past the legends of Fausto Coppi & Eddy Merckx, on to Bernard Hinault, Miguel Indurain & Marco Pantani, & then right up to today`s champions Vincenzo Nibali, Nairo Quintana & Alberto Contador. The history of the Giro is the history of cycling`s superstars. The battles for supremacy, the controversies & skulduggery, the fame & the glory, & the iconic stages all feature. In Corsa Rosa, Gallagher skillfully combines history, anecdote & analysis to bring this ultimate test of endurance vividly to life.

Uniform is universally seen as both a stamp of authority & of official acceptance. But the sight of a woman in military uniform still provokes controversy. Although more women are now taking prominent roles in combat, the status implied by uniform is often regarded as contrary to the general perception of womanhood. In association with the Imperial War Museum, this is the first book to look at the image of uniformed women, both in conflict & in civilian roles throughout the twentieth century. Kate Adie examines the extraordinary range of jobs that uniformed women have performed, from nursing to the armed services. Through contemporary correspondence & many personal stories she brings the enormous & often unsung achievements of women in uniform vividly to life, & looks at how far women have come in a century which, for them, began restricted in corsets & has ended on the battlefield in camouflage. ...
