Very few people have managed to successfully merge Hollywood and motorsports like Steve McQueen. Truly an icon in both fields, McQueen always felt more at home around fast machines at the track, or in the desert on a motorcycle, than he ever did around cluttered movie sets.

But in his book “Steve McQueen, a Passion for Speed,” French author Frederic Brun uses tons of revealing photographs and a few stories to show us that he took both passions equally seriously.

So whether you’re a fan of his acting talents or his racing prowess, “Steve McQueen, a Passion for Speed” is a true must-read.
