Fallen Angel, The Passion of Fausto Coppi by William Fotheringham, First Edition 
In Fallen Angel, acclaimed cycling biographer, William Fotheringham, tells the tragic story of Coppi's life and death - of how a man who became the symbol of a nation's rebirth after the disasters of war died reviled and heartbroken. Told with insight and intelligence, this is a unique portrait of Italy and Italian sport at a time of tumultuous change. The Passion of Fausto Coppi is a fitting title for a book telling the life story of one cycling's true legends. While it was a story I was already familiar with (most notable thanks to Pedalare! Pedalare! by John Foot), William Fotheringham does an excellent job of telling the story of Fausto Coppi's life without getting caught up in all the drama and speculation that still surrounds it.
