Rino Rao again underlines Rudolf Caracciola, a "flying titan" on which, in Italy - unlike Nuvolari, whose myth is very much alive - fell a painful oblivion, as to be less remembered his compatriot, the meteor Rosemeyer. The author, after careful investigation historiographical narrated, with sliding and captivating style, the complex human and sporting the great Rhenish of ancient and noble Italian origins. The life of Caracciola, although consecrated at the races, he was full of dramatic events, private and public. The story of Caracciola, which began with the happy and carefree years spent in the Rhine Valley, goes live, in the aftermath of World War I, in the forlorn Weimar Germany; reaches its peak in the years of the affirmation of Nazism and the overwhelming success of the "Silver Arrows" and ends, prematurely, after the last rays of his outstanding and unique class, in september 1959. The inevitable confrontation with the great mantuan closes the gripping book, complemented by a gallery of characters of the time. Their peculiarities of character and their role in the racing world, are a source of tasty and unusual news.
