TRE SEJE SØNDERJYDER. Biografien om de tre seje sønderjyder handler om tre motorsportstalenter, som blev født indenfor en radius af få kilometer. Ja, man talte ligefrem om et lokalt hastighedsgen. De var næsten jævnaldrende og kørte alle tre gokart og lærte der sporten fra grunden. Derefter fortsatte de i formelbil, hvor de snart kom til at tilhøre den europæiske elite i Formel 3. Herfra rekrutterede Formel 1 sine kommende stjerner - målet for dem alle. De måtte kæmpe hårdt undervejs med uheld og ulykker, der på en dårlig dag kunne være endt fatalt, inden de nåede frem til kongeklassen og prøvede at tumle den ultimative racer F1. De tre havde andre ting tilfælles i deres karriere, såsom at de alle vendte deres aktiviteter mod syd. Her blev de alle tre tysk mester i F3. De fortsatte i nabolandet med efterfølgende stjernestatus og popularitet i topteams og gik til sidst under navnet ”Danish Dynamite”. Fælles for de tre er at de kom til tops i racing på talentet alene - for de kunne aldrig medbringe de hastigt voksende sponsorpenge.Så hvem er de tre seje sønderjyder - som foruden at tale en charmerende dialekt - også havde ”ståluld på køleren”? Hvordan begik de sig i de lavere kategorier og hvilke store omkostninger måtte de betale? Hvem blev den første danske Le Mans vinder? Hvem opnåede at blive den største danske stjerne i den internationale DTM-serie? Hvem var det mest seriøse bud på næste dansker i F1?Bogen indledes med sand kongerøgelse via et personligt forord fra Danmarks mest kendte internationale storkører Tom Kristensen, som mere end nogen anden også kender racerlivets barske hverdag.

On the night of 14/15 April 1912, a brandnew, supposedly unsinkable ship, the largest and most luxurious vessel in the world at the time, collided with an iceberg and sank on her maiden voyage. Of the 2,208 people on board, only 712 were saved. The rest either drowned or froze to death in the icy-cold waters of the North Atlantic. How could this 'unsinkable' vessel sink and why did so few of those aboard survive?The authors bring the tragedy to life, telling the story of the ship's design, construction and maiden voyage. The stories of individuals who sailed on her, many previously known only as names on yellowing passenger and crew lists, are brought to light using rarely-seen accounts of the sinking. The stories of passengers of all classes and crewmembers alike, are explored. They tell the dramatic stories of lives lost and people saved, of the rescue ship Carpathia, and of the aftermath of the sinking. Never again would a large passenger liner sail without lifeboats for all. Despite the tragedy, the sinking of the Titanic indirectly led to untold numbers of lives being saved due to new regulations that came into force after the tragedy. Profusely illustrated, including many rare and unique views of the ship and those who sailed on her, this is as accurate and engrossing a telling of the life of the White Star Line's Titanic and her sinking as you will read anywhere. Made special by the use of so many rare survivor accounts from the eye witnesses to that night to remember, the narrative places the reader in the middle of the maiden voyage, and brings the tragic sinking to life as never before.
