BOOK REVIEW – New Zealand Herald (Friday, November 27, 2009) Conquerors of Time Lynn McConnell Sports Books www.sportsbooks.ltd.uk What a great shame this book could not find a home in New Zealand. Veteran sports journalist and prolific author Lynn McConnell (this is his 16th book) formulated the idea for this book as a repudiation of some theories posited in James McNeish's acclaimed novel Lovelock. However, his focus soon changed to the quality of the 1936 1500m final and in particular the quality of the field in what was the first competitive era of middle-distance running.
