Author of the book 'Parigi Dakar, i Retroscena' (the reviewed edition contains three photographic segments). The book covers the origins and evolution of the Paris–Dakar rally and is considered central to the subject by the reviewer.

LibriDakariani finds Fenouil's Parigi Dakar, i Retroscena a must-read for its vivid depiction of the rally's early, youthful years and its detailed documentation. The reviewer praises the book's photographic segments and historical sweep but criticises late-book verbosity and a thin epilogue. Overall rated 4/5.

For:Readers interested in motorsport history, the Paris–Dakar rally, and historical accounts with photographic documentation.

 

This is certainly the most naive and genuine part of the entire Dakar story: the part that pertains to youth, both its own and of that era.
