Blood Over Water
On an overcast April day in 2003, David and James Livingston raced against each other in the 149th Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race. Watched by over seven million people, it was the first time for over a hundred years that brothers had battled against each other in this gladiatorial contest. Only one could be victorious. In "Blood Over Water", David and James tell their stories for the first time, giving an intimate insight into one of our best-loved national sporting occasions, whilst also describing a brotherly relationship tested to breaking point. It is an emotional and searching joint self-portrait that looks at the darker side of sibling rivalry and asks just what you would be willing to sacrifice to achieve your dreams. Written by David Livingstone and James Livingstone ISBN 978-1-4088-0119-2

A gripping read.
I really enjoyed this book; I was gripped by this fascinating tale and the fantastic achievement of two brothers who raced against each other in opposite crews. A tale which provides an insight into this unique world of the boat race between two of England's most prestigious and oldest Universities, Oxford and Cambridge.
I would like to recommend it to everyone.
