The inspiring, heart-pumping true story of soldiers turned cyclists and the historic 1919 Tour de France that helped to restore a war-torn country and its people.On June 29, 1919, one day after the Treaty of Versailles brought about the end of World War I, nearly seventy cyclists embarked on the thirteenth Tour de France. From Paris, the war-weary men rode down the western coast on a race that would trace the country’s border, through seaside towns and mountains to the ghostly western front. Traversing a cratered postwar landscape, the cyclists faced near-impossible odds and the psychological scars of war. Most of the athletes had arrived straight from the front, where so many fellow countrymen had suffered or died. The cyclists’ perseverance and tolerance for pain would be tested in a grueling, monthlong competition.An inspiring true story of human endurance, Sprinting Through No Man’s Land explores how the cyclists united a country that had been torn apart by unprecedented desolation and tragedy. It shows how devastated countrymen and women can come together to celebrate the adventure of a lifetime and discover renewed fortitude, purpose, and national identity in the streets of their towns.

After looking thru this month’s options and being underwhelmed, I selected this title figuring I’d be settling for an innocuous tale about an 101 year old bike race. W R O N G - I’m exhausted and might need a month off after experiencing the Tour de France from 1919...“Sprinting Through No Man’s Land”, by Adin Dobkin is far more than a book about a bike race. WW1 has only just ended and Europe is reeling from the effects. Towns, roads, cities, businesses - it’s all in some state of ruin but the people are rejuvenated, resilient and cheering for the men who engage in this gargantuan physical task.Dobkin introduces us to the key athletes; not only their biking biography but their military experiences, which play strongly throughout the book. Driving the entire event is the Editor-In-Chief of l’Auto, the sponsor and organizer of the race. There are additional interesting biographical sketches and historical interludes that are related to the stops and byways of the race that are very interesting. It’s those vignettes that include the only female characters, otherwise this story is all about the boys.Intensely descriptive prose that go far beyond atmospheric, you will feel every jarring cobblestone, slop of mud, twist of painful wet leather and be thankful it’s not your hemorrhoids on that bike! The pace of this race and the conditions under which it was conducted was brutal but the spirit of the countrymen as they rallied around these guys over the month long event was the stuff of great movies.Were this a film, it would be PG rated, for intensity only; not a foul word to be found nor an R rated interaction between consenting humans, hallelujah!Dobkin includes a Cast of Characters in the beginning that gives very brief bios. It includes all the players and might look overwhelming. Don’t worry. Not that many are key to the story and keeping track isn’t hard. In the back are his notes on Methodology and Sources. These two items are seriously interesting. In fact, I suggest reading the Methodology section prior to reading the bulk of the book but be sure to read the source notes as they are wonderful.From quiet determination to full fledged exhilaration, “Sprinting Through No Man’s Land” is sports, history and above all, a chance to celebrate the joy of victory📚
