The 1989 Ironman World Championship was the greatest race ever in endurance sports. In a spectacular duel that became known as the Iron War, the world's two strongest athletes raced side by side at world-record pace for a grueling 139 miles.

Driven by one of the fiercest rivalries in triathlon, Dave Scott and Mark Allen raced shoulder to shoulder through Ironman’s 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike race, and 26.2-mile marathon. After 8 punishing hours, both men would demolish the previous record - and cross the finish line a mere 58 seconds apart.

In his new book, Iron War, sports journalist Matt Fitzgerald writes a riveting epic about how Allen and Scott drove themselves and each other through the most awe-inspiring race in sports history. Iron War goes beyond the pulse-pounding race story to offer a fascinating exploration of the lives of the world’s two toughest men and their unquenchable desire to succeed.

Weaving an examination of mental resolve into a gripping tale of athletic adventure, Iron War is a soaring narrative of two champions and the paths that led to their stunning final showdown.

The story itself is awesome! However, the tone of the narrator is disappointing. Choosing a more stoic, masculine voice would have made this complete.

Great story with lackluster narration.

I love these types of stories and this one is fascinating but the narration was down right horrible. It was too painful to finish.

Interesting story but horrible narration

Having just competed at Kona, this book was a fascinating and inspirational insight into the the history of the race and Ironman. The story is amazing uncovering over its duration the battle of wills and battle of self coupled with some scientific insight into how the body and mind works.

Inspiring and informative

Excellent story. The narrator's style just didn't jive for me. Still highly recommended. The inspiration is there, it's up to you (and me) to leverage it.

But that narration...

The story and the content is great. I have read the book several times and decided to get it on audible. The person reading the book simply ruins it. I am sure he is a nice person, but his enunciation makes it sound like a robot is reading it and it takes some of the emotion of the story.

Great book, by the voice over person not so good

A great telling of an epic sports battle between to amazingly gifted but entirely different athletes. I appreciated the story being used as a backdrop to give a history of triathlon, some of the myth/science of endurance sports and stories of other inspiring athletes.

An excellent read for any endurance athlete

Very inspiring, doing ironman triathlons myself I really could feel the emotions the author put in this book. I very much enjoyed, and very much agree with, the part about how much our results depend on physical strength, and how much on physical strength.

Great, recommend to everyone doing or planning to do triathlons

The narrator Seth does a great job in bringing the story to life and what a story it is. I must’ve listened to this book half a dozen times. The 1989 IronMan World Championship is the greatest race ever run. But Matt does a great job at setting the scene as to why Dave and Mark were such big rivals. Why could they suffer so much? Then the story of the race is told in excellent detail.

There is no full video of the greatest race ever run. But the book is so vivid that you feel as if you are there.

Awesome listen
