The definitive eyewitness account of Donald Campbell's 1964 land speed record attempt on Lake Eyre is not only a vibrant portrait of one of the world's most hostile and mesmeric landscapes, but also a compelling psychological drama driven by huge ambition, bitter rivalry, rare tenacity, a rarely glimpsed vulnerability and, above all, death-defying courage. This is the story of one man's obsession.
