The Unforgiving Minute - Dick Johnson: The real story of a folk hero by Bill Tuckey

This is not really a book about motor racing. It is about one man who happens to be a racing driver. Dick Johnson is a remarkable man; the affection, the loyalty and the admiration he generates amongst hundreds of thousands of Australians is a tribute to his honesty and straight-forwardness. This is a story of a young Australian suburban kid who did all the marvellous things of childhood, who grue up in a close family but who had a life of miraculous adventures, close shaves and accidents, but who always had a dream.
