Steve McQueen's life is captured in detail through her recollections and the hundreds of photos, that she personally took, that accompany her stories. Barbara, who was a top fashion model when she met Steve, reveals her unique life with him spent traveling the country, on the beaches of Malibu, and living in Santa Paula. She also photographed Steve on the set of Tom Horn and the Hunter. "The Last Mile" will make you feel as though you finally got to see what the real Steve McQueen was like.

The book Road & Track called
“One of the best racing event
books I’ve ever read...
This truly is a remarkable work.”
On March 21, 1970, the greatest drivers and racecars in the world gathered at an old WW II airfield in the middle of Florida orange groves to participate in the 12 Hours of Sebring - Andretti, Gurney, Ickx, Redman, Rodriguez, Siffert, Parkes, Elford, Cevert. Porsche 917's, Ferrari 512's, Matra 650's, Alfa Romeo T-33's. Little did they know that they were about to particpate in, what some have called, "one of the most exciting endurance races ever."
Against the might of the factory teams, an out-classed Porsche 908 driven by Peter Revson and Steve McQueen suddenly found itself in a position to win the race. What transpired at the end is now a part of motor racing legend.
Take a trip back in time as the story of this memorable race is told through photographs and the remembrances of people who were there!

There are many books on McQueen, and all are very good. Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel, by Marshall Terril, seems to be one of the best.
Here is one of my favorite passages from this book:
Not one to
socialize with the Hollywood crowd, Steve asked Pat Johnson
and his wife, along with a then unknown Chuck Norris and his
wife, to attend an event with him and Ali. "Everybody
who was anybody in Hollywood was there," remembers
Johnson. It was a black tie affair, but McQueen showed up in
a plaid Benetton lumberjack shirt, blue jeans, boots, and a
long beard.
Not once during
the event did McQueen get up. Instead, everybody in the room
came over to greet him like he was royalty. Says Pat Johnson,
"The cream of the crop from Hollywood came over to Steve
to shake his hand...it was like they were paying homage to
him. They were all in awe of him. He was not in awe of
anybody."
