Author Description

Gordon Brooks is the only photographer who has accompanied the West Indies team and this book is a treasure trove of photographs and memories, including some of the greats such as Vivian Richards, Brian Lara, Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, Malcolm Marshall, Michael Holding and Gordon Greenidge - and some of their equally illustrious opponents. Due to the vital importance of the sport of cricket as a medium and catalyst for the social development and mental liberation of black people in the Carribean, this book also has a genuine historical significance; a fact which is referred to repeatedly by both Wes Hall and Clive Lloyd in their introductory articles.
