On November 24, 1968, more than 250 people from 19 nations set off on a 10,000-mile endurance rally from London to Sydney. Drawing from personal recollections of more than 60 participants and contemporary newspaper and magazine articles, this book tells the full story of what was called the "Marathon", from an idea dreamed up over an alcohol-fuelled lunch to the last car over the finish line.
