Liddell made headlines by refusing to race on a Sunday. His switch from the 100 metres to the 400 metres, and subsequent triumph, is now legendary. He brought the same singleness of purpose to his faith as to his running. This vivid biography recounts his life as a missionary in war-torn China, his unassuming and selfless character and his delight in practical jokes. It includes interviews with his family and friends and extracts from his letters.
