Raves and Reviews
"Askwith traces the inspiring, heartbreaking story of Czech countess Lata Brandisová in this rousing account. Askwith rescues her remarkable, forgotten story through dogged detective work and lyrical prose. This is an intense roller coaster from start to finish."
– Publisher's Weekly
"An astonishing story. Heart-stopping reading which left me in tears."
– Cloud Strover, Daily Telegraph
"A significant contribution to international sports and steeplechase history, this is a moving, well-told account of a courageous heroine devoted to God, family, country, and her horses."
– Booklist (starred)
"Askwith’s account is thrilling. We already know Lata prevailed, but that detracts nothing from her approach to the Snake Ditch. An SS riding instructor is described as believing that triumphs in the saddle were evidence of ‘the new spirit of our nation.’ In the face of such opponents, it is wonderful Lata prevailed."
– Wall Street Journal
"A racing story of Hollywood proportions."
– Racing Post
"An extraordinary story…a fitting tribute to a truly remarkable and courageous woman."
– Mail on Sunday
"Brandisova was a remarkable woman who overcame cultural barriers at a critical moment of history. The author's admiration for his subject is palpable, and he paints a compelling portrait of her courageous, enigmatic spirit."
– BookBrowse (Editor’s Choice)
"Vivid and stirring."
– History Revealed
"One of the most remarkable racing stories I have ever had the pleasure of reading."
– James Crispe, Thoroughbred Owner/Breeder
"A fabulously written book about a remarkable lady. A must-read."
– James Fry, International Racing Bureau
