The 2001 British and Irish Lions Tour to Australia was perhaps the most dramatic and exciting ever.On the pitch,the rugby was stunning,laceratingly quick and brutally physical.
Off the pitch,a potent blend of controversy, intrigue and division kept the pot boiling.
At the centre of the whirlwind was the calm force of captain Martin Johnson,the only man ever to lead two British Lions tours.
'AGONY & ECSTASY' is his diary of the Australian trip - the inside story of a fascinating six weeks which has already gone down in rugby folklore.
The injuries,the rows,the passion and the drama are all captured,together with Johnson's own views.
It is a must-buy book for all British Lions fans.
