Stacey Jones commands a place among the most outstanding New Zealand athletes of his generation, or any generation for that matter. In a country that loves its sporting heroes, Jones is an undoubted favourite. He has transcended sporting codes and divides in a way only the chosen few do.

This is a good overview of Stacey Jones' life and career, however, I was disappointed that this book has a lot of crossover with the earlier Stacey Jones: Keeping the Faith.

If you're looking for a Stacey Jones biography Kiwi Warrior is more up-to-date, but for the most part either book will do and both are good reads. ( )
