From an ordinary background,Michael
Schumacher went on to achieve the extraordinary: not only a record 91 Grand Prix victories and seven world championships,but the regeneration of Ferrari,motorsport's most legendary brand.
Yet success came at a price.His and his team's mentality was always to push everything to the limit,but sometimes that pursuit of perfection took them beyond the limit - with disastrous results for Schumacher's image.
With co-operation from the Schumacher camp and from Ferrari,'The Edge of Greatness' uncovers the factors that drove Michael Schumacher to become the man he is today (then 2007).
Confronting some of the biggest names in the sport as well as the vital people behind the scenes,James Allen pieces together a picture of a straightforward man with exceptional talent,a man with two contrasting sides: brutal to his adversaries,generous to those close to him.And a man whose competitive ambition seemed to dominate himself and those around him.
Shumacher's retirement in 2006 left many questions unanswered about his character and his methods.Frank,honest,adroit and in-depth - in 'The Edge of Greatness' Allen answers these questions and reveals the anatomy of a champion.
