The Man and Car that Circled the Globe by Jeff Mahl

A riveting account of the 1908 New York to Paris Race written by Jeff Mahl, Bob Sblendorio, and John Taibi. This true story has been taken from the personal diary of George N. Schuster, Mahl's great-grandfather and Buffalo-native, who was the driver and winner of The Great Race. This book recounts the grueling journey of the American team and their Buffalo-built Thomas Flyer, driving through mud and snow, over mountains, through rivers, and across three continents. Four teams, one American, one Italian, one German, and two French, began the race and only three finished.

This book, which was newly published in 2023, includes never-before-published photos from the race, giving readers a glimpse into the 169-day, 22,000-mile journey of these brave men.
