The Tour of Italy, Giro d'Italia was not raced for several years during World War II, and the first postwar race took place in 1949, when the country was still recovering. This newly translated book—from Dino Buzatti's newspaper accounts at the time—captures the excitement of that contest, which drew national attention and made heroes of the cyclists Coppi and Bartali.
