Summary

In the early years of the 20th century, travel writers were awed by the physical presence and athletic prowess of the East African Maasai. Today, the record-breaking and championship-winning performances of Kenyan athletes are regularly part of the media sports circus. This book explores, for the first time in any depth, the "phenomenon" of Kenyan running.
