Running my life : the autobiography

Coe, Sebastian2013
Books, Manuscripts
Born in Hammersmith, Seb Coe went from a secondary modern school and Loughborough University to become the fastest middle-distance runner of his generation. His rivalry with Steve Ovett gripped a nation and made Britain feel successful at a time of widespread social discontent. From sport Coe transferred his ideals to politics, serving in John Major's Conservative government from 1992 to 1997. However, perhaps his greatest triumph arrived in 2005, when he led Britain's bid to bring the Olympic and Paralympic Games to London. 'Running My Life' is the story of Coe's remarkable achievements.
