The Perfect Mile by Neal Bascomb

The Perfect Mile is a book about breaking the four-minute mile barrier. For years many runners sought to be the first person to run a mile in under four minutes. Some thought it was an impossible feat. The book focuses on the three runners Robert Bannister, Wes Santee, and John Landy, and how close each was to be the first sub-4 miler.
