‘The best book about racism I’ve ever read. Powerful, passionate, challenging, and, like the author’s fast bowling, at times very uncomfortable. I learned a lot & it made me think a lot.’ -- Piers Morgan, TV presenter and journalist

'This amazing book' -- Chris Evans ― Virgin Radio

'One of the most important [books] of the year, and certainly among the most powerful. If anything will change the way we see the world it is this - the sports book of the year.' -- Roger Alton ― Daily Mail, Sports Books of the Year
